Applications are now open for the Africa Fellows in Education Program (AFEP) 2025/2026, offering a significant opportunity for African researchers to advance education policy through evidence-based research. This two-year fellowship provides a substantial research grant, mentorship, and international networking, aiming to enhance research skills and foster policy engagement among young African scholars.

Empowering African Education Research: AFEP 2025/2026 Opens Applications

The Africa Fellows in Education Program (AFEP) is a two-year research and policy development fellowship designed to support young African researchers. Organized by the Global Education Analytics Institute (GEAI) in collaboration with PEP and supported by the Yidan Prize, the program focuses on improving education policy through evidence-based research.

Key takeaways:

  • The fellowship provides training, mentorship, and international networking opportunities.
  • Fellows will gain experience in data analysis, policy engagement, and dissemination of research findings.
  • The program runs from September 2025 to June 2027.

Eligibility Criteria for Aspiring Fellows

To be eligible for the AFEP, applicants must meet specific requirements:

  • Be a national of a Sub-Saharan African country.

  • Be proficient in quantitative data analysis, with strong knowledge of software such as R and Stata.
  • Be no older than 35 years old.
  • Demonstrate interest in education policy research and analysis.
  • Work for the government or have an affiliation at a research or higher education institution in a Sub-Saharan African country, with an intention to continue doing so.
