Starting from October 2011, the Peace and Security Fellowships for African Women will be delivered by the African Leadership Centre, Conflict Security and Development Group (CSDG), King’s College London and the Institute for Development Studies (IDS), University of Nairobi.
The Fellowships bring together African women in the early stages of their careers to undertake a carefully designed training programme in conflict, security and development.
This training is followed by an attachment to an African Regional Organisation or a Centre of Excellence to acquire practical experience in the field of peace and security. It is intended that this project will train African women to develop a better understanding of African peace and security issues, in order to increase their participation in conflict management processes and other areas of security concerns for Africans.
The Peace and Security Fellowship Programme for African Women is designed to expose young professional African women to the complexities of conflict, security and development.
The exposure is to equip them for careers in this field by developing their expertise to generate African-led ideas and processes of change for Peace and Security Fellowship for African Women addressing challenges on the African continent.
The Fellowships especially aim to ground this expertise on peace and security in the pursuit of excellence and integrity.
The Fellowship is conceived against a number of background factors:
This Fellowship is aimed at challenging the existing tendency that seems to reinforce the male dominant discourse on conflict and security related matters. The Fellowship is designed to develop the network of African women scholars working in the field whilst linking them with the peace and security mechanisms of relevant institutions.
