Professional development for international leaders
When people work together and have the tools they need, they can solve the world’s toughest problems. That’s what our programs are all about.
Fellowships
Our residential fellowships bring together the best resources — institutions, thinkers, and practitioners — and the brightest changemakers from around the world for collaborative learning and practical training.
Global Democracy Fellowship
An immersive program for leaders in democracy
This collaborative learning experience gives Fellows the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to cultivate lasting transformation in their communities, countries, and regions.
Judicial Fellowship Program
A professional exchange for international judges passionate about strengthening legal systems
This comprehensive and immersive program combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills to foster critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and a deep understanding of the rule of law.

An accelerator for African business leaders committed to social impact
Through a custom business masterclass, curated networking opportunities, and site-based learning, Fellows build capacity that will help them grow both their business and their communities.
