Applications are open for the CIPE Creative Industries Fellowship within the Civic Charge accelerator program for creative professionals based in Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, who are using their talents to drive positive change.
This year, Accountability Lab is also partnering with the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), a business and democracy NGO, to launch the CIPE Creative Industries Fellowship within the Civic Charge Program.
Civic Charge supports projects focused on inclusion, climate justice, digital governance, and expanding civic agency. It’s a peer-driven accelerator for change makers implementing innovative approaches to strengthening social accountability around the world.
Consisting of monthly virtual learning and peer engagement sessions, Civic Charge is designed to provide practical support to catalyze the scale and impact of existing programs. The stackable curriculum will support innovators to work on critical areas like institutional strengthening, advanced project management, and communications and strategic engagement, amongst other themes. The program is a perfect fit for curious problem-solvers who want to be part of a global learning network.
