The World Bank Africa Fellowship targets young talented African nationals who are completing or have recently completed their Ph.D. in an area relevant to the World Bank’s work.

The fellowship program has been very successful since its inception, building a strong pipeline of young African talent interested in a career in development, in international institutions, African governments, think tanks, and academia.

The program offers selected fellows a six-month assignment at WBG offices in Washington D.C. or in country offices to gain hands-on experience in WBG operations.

Through the fully funded fellowship program, the World Bank aims to build the capacity of the next generation of African change makers in development research, policymaking and promote the goals of reducing poverty in the region.

  • Possesses strong quantitative and analytical skills.
  • Be under the age of 32 by the closing of the application period.

Fellows are eligible to receive consultant fees and round-trip economy-class air travel to Washington, D.C. or a WBG country office.

If accepted, you will:

  • Spend six months getting hands-on experience at the WBG headquarters in Washington, D.C. or a country office. The fellowship requires in-person availability for the period January-June 2025.

Note

The following additional attributes are highly desirable:

  • A command of an additional World Bank official language
  • National from fragile and conflict-affected countries
  • Candidates from refugee and internally displaced communities and/or with proven experience on forced displacement

SELECTION PROCESS

Phase II:

The final list of fellows will be selected in consultation with the various units of the WBG. When the selection is complete, all shortlisted candidates will be informed of their selection status. Selected candidates will then be notified and, upon acceptance, be hired as short-term consultants for six months starting January 2026.
