Public Service Emerging Leaders Fellowship for Kenyan Graduate Students 2022

We are Excited to Announce the launch of the Public Service Emerging Leaders Fellowship program of Kenya, marking Emerging Public Leaders‘ entry into East Africa.

Join us Live on November 23rd as Emerging Public Leaders gathers with the Public Service Commission and Emerging Leaders Foundation Africa to celebrate the official signing and incorporation of the Public Service Emerging Leaders Fellowship.

As Kenya’s government continues to build an effective civil service corps, the Public Service Commission (PSC) launched the Public Service Emerging Leaders Fellowship of Kenya as an intergenerational effort to re-engage Kenya’s youth in public service and administration.

With an initial cohort of 50 future government leaders, the Public Service Emerging Leaders Fellowship program will focus on public-sector specific leadership development, ethics cultivation and citizen-centered government delivery.

In the course of a year, the fellowship trains and develops Kenya’s most promising young civil servants for future leadership, providing them with responsive training, supporting them with mentors, and connecting them with a pan-African peer network for support throughout their public service careers.

The Public Service Fellows will experience a specially designed curriculum, which incorporates ethical leadership, responsive training, and inclusive policy development and leadership modules from Kenya and around the world. Designed in collaboration with the Chandler Institute of Governance, an international non-profit organization based in Singapore, the curriculum is defined by its strong practitioner orientation.
