Description
The World Bank Government Analytics Fellowship helps government officials turn underused government data into actionable insights that improve administrative functioning and decision-making. Building on the Government Analytics Handbook, it combines training, project development, and expert support to address institutional challenges. Its emphasis is on repurposing administrative and survey data to diagnose and strengthen public administration, rather than analyzing policy.
Launched in 2024, the fellowship offers online-only, immersive in-person, and regional hub tracks. Participants develop projects with input from World Bank and University of Oxford experts and join a global learning community of public servants, data experts, academics, and practitioners. Selected fellows receive dedicated World Bank mentoring. The immersive track requires an intensive six-month commitment and includes approximately two weeks in Washington, D.C.
