The first three ODI fellows began their work in 1963. Since then, over 1,000 fellows have worked with over 50 governments and international organisations. Fellowships are determined primarily by the needs of the scheme’s partner governments. The continued demand from governments for ODI fellows, as well as the level of responsibility entrusted to them, is a testament to the respect the scheme has earned over the 59 years since it was established.

WORTH
- Fellows gain valuable experience as civil servants. They learn about their host country, its policy landscape, and public services in low-middle-income countries. They gain new technical skills as they work with colleagues to fill skills gaps.
- ODI fellowships are also an opportunity for international exchange and lesson sharing between civil servants: some ODI fellows bring the experience from other civil services and many more go on to work in large bureaucracies, either at home or in third countries.
ELIGIBILITY
- The ODI Fellowship scheme is open to candidates of all nationalities who have a master’s degree or PhD in economics, statistics or a related field.
- Suitable specialised qualifications at the postgraduate level include but aren’t limited to agricultural economics, environmental economics, international economics, health economics, development economics, and econometrics and statistics.
- For those studying for a postgraduate degree at the time of application, the award of a fellowship is conditional upon the successful completion of the postgraduate degree.
DEADLINE: April 27 2022
