The Accountability Lab is building a new generation of active citizens and responsible leaders around the world. We support changemakers to develop and implement positive ideas for integrity in their communities, unleashing positive social and economic change.
As part of the Accountability Lab’s efforts to play a role in shaping the next generation of young nonprofit leaders in South Africa, the Lab is supporting a one year, fully immersive, accountability focused nonprofit management fellowship. Fellows are given the opportunity to participate in every aspect of managing a non-profit under the guidance of a senior staff member. The program includes: project management, partnership building and stakeholder relations; research, MEL and communications.
Accountability Lab South Africa (AL SA) seeks to appoint one Nonprofit Management Fellow to be based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The 2021 Fellowship will primarily focus on supporting implementation of our flagship Integrity Icon Campaign and other projects as assigned.
The Accountability Lab was founded in early 2012 as an effort to work with young people to develop new ideas for accountability, transparency and open government. It has evolved into a global network of local Accountability Labs that are finding new ways to shift societal norms, solve intractable challenges and build “unlikely networks” for change.

Candidate Profile
Fellows may come from any discipline or background with the intention of learning what it takes to work in- and manage a nonprofit or developing a specific set of skills which supports the work of civil society. We are looking for curious and ambitious self-starters; problem solvers with a can-do attitude and a learning mindset. A basic requirement for this Fellowship is that you have good computer skills. A sound working knowledge of Microsoft Office and comfort with the Google suite of online tools are must-haves, and familiarity working with design, publishing and multimedia editing tools such as Canva and Adobe Creative Cloud’s suite of apps are a plus!
Although some work-place experience is ideal, this is not an essential requirement. We believe that skills can be developed on-the-go through our structured learning program, but a demonstrable commitment to our values and sharing our enthusiasm for working in civil society and with social movements is essential for success in this role.
To apply, please send us your comprehensive CV and a motivation letter telling us why you are interested in this Fellowship program and what you expect to gain from it to: [email protected] by 18 June 2021. The Accountability Lab reserves the right to not make an appointment for this role. We regret, we can only consider applications from candidates with the right to live and work in South Africa at this time.
