The World Bank Government Analytics Fellowship Program is a pioneering initiative designed to bridge the gap between the vast, yet underutilized, data resources held by governments and the potential for enhanced public administration efficiency through data-informed decision-making.

The fellowship is hybrid and spans 6 months. The in-person portion is expected to last 2 weeks and will require full-time commitment from the fellows, as this is held in Washington, D.C. The online portion is expected to be light on time commitment, with an average of 1 hour per week. These online sessions will be held live.

Participation in the World Bank Government Analytics course in Washington, D.C. includes hotel, travel, and subsistence covered by the World Bank for applicants from ODA-eligible countries.

Eligibility Criteria:

To apply for the Government Analytics Fellowship, candidates must-

• Be available to travel to Washington, D.C., from January 28 to February 6 for in-person training.

• Be nominated by their organizations (up to 2 fellows per organization are allowed).

• Work in central government organizations, including agencies.

• Hold mid-level management or senior analyst positions (or equivalent), with the authority to develop a government analytics project.

• Demonstrate prior tertiary-level coursework in statistics or related quantitative methods.

• Be proficient in English.

Application Process:

• A comprehensive CV (3 pages maximum), highlighting your relevant experience and qualifications.

• A 150-word summary of how you envision applying the insights gained to enhance your organization's operations through a government analytics project.
