Uongozi Fellowship is built by a coalition — funders, universities, civic institutions, mentors, and ordinary Kenyans who refuse to look away. There is a place for you here.
What it funds
What your support covers.
Ten fellows a year. Funding a place is not a contribution toward a programme — it is the whole of one person's formation, start to finish.
01
Teaching and curriculum
Twelve weeks of constitutional law, public finance, procurement integrity and comparative anti-corruption practice, taught by practitioners.
02
The Singapore residency
Two weeks abroad — flights, visas, accommodation, and study access to institutions built to resist capture.
03
A living stipend
So that a place is open to someone who cannot afford three months without income. This is what makes selection about integrity rather than means.
04
Placement and capstone
An embedded placement in Kenya and a published reform capstone, supported through to completion.
Sponsor a seat
USD 12,000
per sponsored place
For an employer, county government, agency or development partner funding a fellow directly. Sponsored fellows sit in the same cohort, meet the same standard, and are selected on the same shortlist.
How sponsorship works →Full costings, budget and overhead ratio are shared in the partnership pack. Ask and we will send it.
Ways to support
Six ways to partner.
02
Institutional partnership
Foundations, universities, and civic organisations that want to co-deliver curriculum, share research, or convene our fellows with their networks.
03
Mentor a cohort
Whistleblowers, investigative journalists, judges, auditors, and public servants who can spend a weekend a month with the fellows.
04
Host a placement
Newsrooms, oversight bodies, and ethics offices willing to take one fellow for a four-week embedded placement during month three.
05
Amplify our reach
Media partners, event conveners, and community leaders who can help open the fellowship to applicants from every county — especially outside Nairobi.
06
Give as an individual
Small, recurring gifts from Kenyans and friends of Kenya are the backbone of our independence. Everything is disclosed in the annual donor list.
