African Liberty Writing Fellowship 2025

The African Liberty Writing Fellowship program is a year-long program designed to train young Africans with career interests in academia, media, public policy, or any other critical-and-analytical-writing-related career in opinion article writing. We have helped our fellows get featured in leading African and non-Africa media outlets. 

Accepted applicants will complete a five-week mandatory online training. The top candidates from the five-week training will be admitted as African Liberty writing fellows. The five-week training starts on 23 May 2025 and ends on 20 June 2025. The writing fellowship starts on 11 July 2025 and ends on 14 July 2025.
