Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity

Applicants are invited to submit concept notes for the Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership program.

The Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership is deemed to be complementary to Egypt’s ongoing efforts to play its mandated role in promoting the youth role locally, regionally, continental, and internationally by providing all forms of support, habilitation and training, in addition to empowering them to occupy leadership positions, in order to benefit from their abilities and ideas. That was recognized by President El-Sisi at the World Youth Forum in all its editions.

The Nasser Leadership Fellowship is also one of the implementation mechanisms of the following: World Youth Forum, Egypt Vision 2030, 10 principles of the Afro-Asian People’s Solidarity Organization, Africa Agenda 2063, Sustainable Development Goals 2030, South – South Cooperation, African Union Roadmap through Investment in Youth, African Youth Charter and principles of the Non-Aligned Movement. By way of example, the Fellowship offers an equal opportunity to both genders as indicated in the 5th Goal of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

The Fellowship also seeks to empower young people and give to actors from different countries of the world the chance to connect and forge partnerships in various fields, not only at the continental level but also at the international level, as referred to in the 17th Goal.
