You write: “We are delighted to announce the 2023 Effective Altruism Africa Residency Fellowship, to be hosted on the island of Zanzibar.”
Who is we? I even clicked on the application form and still don’t know.

  Hi DMMF,
  I apologize for the error. The program is an initiative by the EA Nairobi Group led and organized by Daniel Yu.
  Best,

    So it is being organised by the Center for Effective Altruism? Or is being organised by a separate organisation, with help/sponsorship from CEA?

      Hi Neel,
      *EDITED*
      The Residency program is guaranteed funding by Daniel Yu, founder and CEO of Wasoko, while awaiting potential funding from other sources.

        What is the EA Charter? I haven’t heard of it before. Is there a link to a description of it?
        
        And I think Neel was asking who is organizing the program’s day to day operations, not just who is funding it.

        Hi Thomas,
        *EDITED*
        Apologies for the previous error. The program will be organized by members drawn from the EA Nairobi chapter, including myself while being supported by Daniel Yu.
        Kind Regards,
        Anne N N

    The program is supported by members of the EA Nairobi Chapter alongside other EAs in Africa in consultation with CEA.
