The Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships offered by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation are presently accepting applications. Interested candidates are urged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and to apply.
The Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships were established in 2011 to identify and mentor the future generation of outstanding African leaders. Each year three Fellows have an opportunity to work in the executive offices of the AfDB (Abidjan), ECA (Addis Ababa) or the ITC (Geneva), with a stipend of $100,000.
During their 12-month programmes, Fellows gain both technical and leadership skills, while contributing directly to research and policy design. A special feature of the programme is the opportunity to benefit from the direct mentorship of the heads of the host organisations.
Applications for the 2026 Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships are now open. Details and how to apply can be found at the following links:
Fellowships are open annually to young professionals, mid-career and new executives from Africa with relevant work experience and a master’s degree.
