Hi Kearney,
Thank you for your interest in the program. The Penn Development Research Initiative will be running a fellowship program for junior African social scientists with interests in impact evaluation, evidence-based policy etc. to spend a semester at Penn. This will be in September-December 2023.
If this piques your interest, please have a closer look here. I am happy to get in touch and discuss this further.

Hi Chidi,
The objective of the residency is to provide structured support and develop community connections between Effective Altruists working on projects improving wellbeing across the African continent.
We endeavor to foster an environment of reflection and collaboration amongst EA aligned professionals within which thoughts, ideas and interventions in Effective Altruism are encouraged, discussed, critiqued and supported accordingly.
Indeed, fellows will have the opportunity to create aligned connections and forge valuable, long lasting networks. The support we seek to offer fellows include accommodation, a co-working space, language support through Swahili classes, amongst others.
You may reach me on my email at annenganga554@gmail.com to attend to any concern arising.
