Overview
Whether you are looking for your next challenge, or planning a wholesale career move, becoming an Oxford Policy Fellow gives you a unique opportunity to apply your legal knowledge within an international development context.
Details
The Fellowship is the start of an exciting new chapter in your career. It opens the door to a career with a range of international agencies, NGOs, development consultancies and governmental organisations.
The Oxford Policy Fellowship supports governments in overcoming the unique issues they face, by providing them with demand-led technical assistance.
We source high performing early-career advisors to work within current government systems and processes for two years so that their work contributes to ongoing policymaking, rather than creating parallel structures for getting things done.
By providing governments with key support that they themselves have defined and requested, we deliver sustainable and locally-owned development impact. We are also developing a community of practice of government practitioners working at the interface of law and public policy, promoting a culture of knowledge sharing and learning across governments and the wider community.
The programme has three key objectives:
- To provide governments with outstanding early-career advisors, where there is a need for additional capacity.
- To create a community of practice of law and policy practitioners across governments.
- To foster a culture of learning through our innovative monitoring and evaluation framework.
The Oxford Policy Fellowship also provides transformative career opportunities for professionals who are passionate about development.
