📌Opportunity Highlight 👇

We're looking for changemakers in government to join the 2027 Government Analytics Fellowship.

Public officials who see the potential of data and evidence to challenge the status quo, strengthen institutions, and transform how governments deliver for citizens.

Three years ago, we launched the Government Analytics Fellowship to equip these changemakers with the skills, tools, and networks to turn data into action and drive lasting institutional change.

Demand has never been higher. This year, we are expanding opportunities through new learning tracks to reach more government officials and support them at different stages of their journeys.

The potential for better government already exists within public institutions. It's time to unlock it.
