The Ufahamu Africans Nonresidents Fellowship is a special program organized for Africans to exploit their ideas by creating podcast episodes. These podcasts are expected to proffer solutions to underlying issues in the continent, and the world at large.
Also, it targets mainly African scholars, nationals, content creators, and/or journalist who meet up with the criteria to be part of the scheme.
Selected applicants (Fellows) will then be invited, and engaged to make their podcasts episodes which will be a dual-language or equivalent to five single podcasts episodes.
The work which is completed within a duration of ten (10) months will be showcased at the designated universities, which are;
- University of California, Riverside.
- Cornell University.
Fellows will be privileged to join the editorial team that will handle the season six (6) content. Also, they are expected to share ideas, decide, and create synergic partnership, etc.
Because internet connection is required to aid effectiveness of the production, the sum of three thousand five hundred US dollars ($3,500 USD) will be given to each fellow.
