Habib Bourguiba Global Leaders Fellowship

A six-month research-and-implementation fellowship in Tunisia for emerging and mid-career leaders from developing countries who want to lead change at home.

What happened

The fellowship is open to adults from public service, civil society, academia, enterprise and media in any developing country. Each fellow studies a real development problem, designs a project and carries it out in their own country.

The programme is hosted in Tunisia, in Monastir and Tunis, with a remote preparation phase and a remote follow-up phase. It is multidisciplinary, mentored and built around a cohort of peers. University co-tutorship is optional.

The name recalls Habib Bourguiba, first President of the Republic of Tunisia, and themes of the public record of his period: education, institution-building, social reform and the legal status of women. It is used in a factual and non-partisan way, subject to the necessary authorisations. The fellowship takes no political position.

To apply, create or open your TIPCS account, then follow the application steps. TIPCS does not promise a visa, admission to any institution, a job, a state-recognised qualification or a language level.
