FATE Institute Fellowship for Policy Experts

If you’re deeply involved in shaping Nigeria’s entrepreneurship space and want to back your work with real research and policy dialogue, the 2025 FATE Institute Fellowship might be a good fit. This two-year, online fellowship supports professionals who care about fixing the gaps that slow business growth in the country.

The programme runs fully online. That means no need to move or travel, though you might be invited to join events in person once in a while.

This is not just a learning experience. You’ll actively work on Nigeria’s entrepreneurship challenges by contributing research, leading conversations and taking part in collaborative sessions. Here’s what comes with the programme:

• Work on live issues in entrepreneurship policy
• Engage with government and private sector leaders
• Share your findings on a respected platform
• Take part in key policy events and conversations
• Connect with other fellows and grow your network
• Get involved in campaigns that push for real change

• Have a strong interest in entrepreneurship and public policy
• Are studying for, or have finished, a master’s or PhD in a related field (Economics, Law, Political Science, Business and similar)
• Have solid experience with research and working with stakeholders
• Know how to write for policy audiences
• Have spent at least 10 years in relevant professional work

Applicants should also be ready to stick with the programme, contribute thoughtfully, and help push Nigeria’s entrepreneurship agenda forward.
