The TransparencIT Civic Changemakers Fellowship Programme 2023 is now accepting applications. A civic innovation and governance training program called the Civic Changemakers Fellowship is designed to support community champions who are tackling or want to tackle civic and governance issues.
Each year, TransparencIT chooses and invites community leaders who are actively involved in developing and scaling solutions to undermine civic engagement while enhancing local government and social justice. The Changemakers learn for three (3) months by participating in events, receiving training, working in groups, and networking to improve their activities and projects.
The sole objective of the programme is to strengthen the civic space and make a difference in the lives of communities by developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation of the changemakers to foster and implement citizens-driven solutions. The programme was designed to create a positive impact using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The core components of the fellowship comprise parallel training in experiential learning, leadership development, inclusion, innovation and management framework.
