TransparentIT Civic Changemakers Fellowship Program 2023 For Young Nigerians

Published: 13 Jun 2023

The Civic Changemakers Fellowship programme is a civic innovation and governance training aimed at empowering community champions who are working or have the ambition to work on solving civic and governance challenges.

Every year, TransparencIT selects and invites active community champions to develop and scale solutions for disrupting civic participation and improving governance and social justice in their communities. For three (3) months, the Changemakers learn through engagement, training, group work and networking to advance their activities and projects.

The sole objective of the programme is to strengthen the civic space and make a difference in the lives of our communities by developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation of the changemakers to foster and implement citizens-driven solutions.

The programme was designed to create a positive impact using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The core components of the fellowship comprise parallel training in experiential learning, leadership development, inclusion, innovation and management framework.
