Just got a rejection but I think it happened for the best. No way am I going to do two masters to work in subsaharan Africa (with all due respect), and that too for two years and average/poor job prospects afterwards. Now that I think about it, I don't even know why I applied in the first place. I won't be doing that again!
Was rejected too, will try next time...
You need stleast 2 MAs, but 3+ is preferred. You need to be someone who is still in school at 30.Troll post. I did the fellowship a couple of years ago. Can answer questions..
Hi, I got a firm offer for this year.
I have heard about people complaining about their destination. Gossips regarding boring tasks and no future career prospectives after the fellowship. Did yo have such an experience? I am already 29 but I do not discard to pursue a PhD after the fellowship. Do you think it is possible to undertake one at the same time you are in the fellowship programme?
Can you confirm the infos concerning the final real salary? I read in the 2017 post that the accommodation allowance is 2000 dollars per month in Liberia? Are these figures reliable?
Thanks a lot!
I have also received a firm offer. A lot of the posts I’ve read on this website are seriously misleading; I have an undergrad and master’s degrees in economics (from Russell group universities) and I didn’t get top marks in either. I’ve also got over a year of work experience since finishing university. I’d encourage anyone to apply for this scheme if you feel passionately about it!

Accurate, but one of the highest rental allowances around. This will reflect the housing market in Monrovia. But in general, you can expect that your housing allowance will be sufficient for decent accommodation.
Look, if you want to make a £100k at this level, work in finance. ODI compensation is not bad at all considering in what kind of places you'll be living.
