Visiting Professorial Fellowship

The Centre, with the assistance of an endowment grant from The Ford Foundation, has instituted a Visiting Professorial Fellowship in Governance. This Fellowship facilitates the participation, in the Centre's activities, of a senior academic, national or international, who has distinguished her/himself in the priority areas of the Centre. The tenure of the Fellowship is one to two years, and the Fellow is expected to develop research programmes, or carry forward existing ones, in a way that builds expertise in the Centre. The first Fellowship will be in the area of New Public Management. The Fellowship carries maintenance allowance, office facilities and a research grant.
