World Bank Government Analytics Fellowship 2027
The 2027 call is open for public servants developing projects that use government data to improve administration. Applications close on 16 November 2026.
Participation tracks
- Online-only: self-paced learning for government officials.
- Immersive in-person: a competitive six-month programme, including approximately two weeks in Washington, D.C., in March 2027. Exact travel dates are still to be confirmed.
- Regional hub: localised fellowship activity organised around regional centres.
The current call identifies support from World Bank and University of Oxford experts. Selected fellows receive project mentoring.
Eligibility
Candidates must work in a central-government organisation or agency in a mid-level management or senior analytical role, or equivalent. Organisational nomination, authority and institutional support for a relevant project are required. Applicants also need tertiary-level quantitative coursework and English proficiency. This is not an unrestricted fellowship for all data analysts, students or nonprofit employees.
Funding and in-person requirements
For eligible participants from ODA-recipient countries, the Washington component includes hotel, travel and subsistence support. Do not assume this funding applies universally or represents a salary. In-person fellows must complete the virtual course and submit their project before travelling.
Documents and application
Prepare a CV of no more than three pages, a 150-word project summary and an organisational endorsement letter. Submit documents in English as PDFs through the official form.

Preparing a useful project proposal
Start with an administrative problem your organisation can act on. Explain what data is available, who will use the findings and what improvement is realistic. Discuss access permissions and management support before promising a project. Keep the proposal focused enough to show a credible path from analysis to practical action.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an online option?
Yes. The 2027 call includes an online-only track.
