USAID Fellows Programs
USAID’s fellowship programs are in a variety of technical areas including global health, democracy promotion, science and technology, and gender equality and women’s empowerment. USAID Fellows generally spend one or two years working in Washington, D.C., or in USAID Missions around the world. They provide technical assistance and advice on USAID programs, write research papers, develop evaluation strategies and methods, and complete other tasks that enhance USAID’s operations in the sector.
Each fellowship Program has its own requirements regarding professional experience and education credentials. Each fellowship vacancy announcement also has more specific requirements particular to each position. Some may also require foreign language fluency.
