African Wildlife Foundation — Geospatial Leaders Fellowship

The African Wildlife Foundation invites early- to mid-career African conservation professionals to apply to the AWF Geospatial Leaders Fellowship. The Fellowship is a professional development program for conservation leaders who use GIS, remote sensing, and spatial data to address wildlife conservation and landscape management challenges across Africa. The fellowship supports a cohort-based learning experience that includes advanced geospatial training, mentorship, peer learning, and leadership development, with fellows applying their skills to real conservation projects within their organizations. It is open to African nationals working in conservation NGOs, government agencies, research institutions, or community-based organizations, and typically covers training costs, mentorship, and participation support rather than direct cash grants. The application deadline is 15 January 2026. Geospatial Leaders Fellowship
