The Shango Fellowship is meant for young Africans who want to contribute to transformative and revolutionary thinking and action to destabilise, disrupt and decolonise the African research and development landscape.
About the Fellowship
The Decolonise R&D Fellowship is one of several health justice interventions the African Alliance runs that seeks to contribute to the decolonisation of research and development of vaccines, tests, and treatments on the African continent.
What the Fellowship offers to its fellows
- Introduction to a broad spectrum of issues related to the research and development of vaccines, tests and treatment on the African Continent
- A 2 part residence programme (2 three-week, in-person sessions at the beginning and the end of the 4-month fellowship) to reimagine what a decolonised R&D approach truly means for Africa and the tangible steps that need to be taken to realise the future that we dream of and must be our reality in our lifetime.
- Access to and engagement with African and Majority World thought leaders, sector visionaries and technical experts.
- The publication of your research on a globally visible platform.
- Lifetime membership of an advocates network advancing health justice of Africans in all of our diversity.
