The Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships offer a 12-month program to help future African leaders grow their professional skills. This program invites emerging leaders from across Africa to apply for the 2025 cohort of MIF Fellows and take advantage of this unique opportunity.

The Ibrahim Leadership Fellowship is a key initiative of the Foundation to build leadership and technical skills. It allows Fellows to directly contribute to research and policy development in their host institutions.

Past Fellows have worked in fields such as economics, trade, development, peace studies, and conflict resolution. The program’s goal is to inspire positive change and innovation across Africa by giving young African leaders practical experience in well-known international organizations.

Host Institutions

Fellows are placed at three major institutions:

• African Development Bank (AfDB)
• International Trade Centre (ITC)
• United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA)

Each institution hosts one Fellow, providing them with the opportunity to learn from senior management teams working across Africa. Fellows also receive personalized mentorship from global leaders in various fields to help shape their leadership paths.

The program provides a $100,000 stipend, allowing participants to focus on professional growth without worrying about financial limitations. The Fellowship is open to African professionals who have a master’s degree and 7-10 years of relevant work experience.
