The African Leadership Centre (ALC) is pleased to announce a call for applications for the Peace, Security and Development Fellowships for African Scholars starting in September 2023. The Fellowship programme is designed to expose junior African scholars to the complexities of security and development issues facing the African continent.

This Fellowship covers an 18-month period, comprising a rigorous training and research programme on peace, security and development, which includes a 12-Month MSc programme at King’s College London and a six-month attachment to an African University to undertake an independent research project.

The African Leadership Centre (ALC) was established in Kenya in June 2010 as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build a new community of leaders generating cutting edge knowledge on peace, security and development.
