In response to some queries received.... Mostly under the theme: 

Q: I do not live in one of the target countries. Can I still apply?

A: For 2023, the first year of the fellowship, they are accepting applications only from residents of stated countries; applicants must have a project in, or a project idea intended for, at least one of these countries. 

In 2024, they will expand to more regions, with the goal of rolling out globally by 2025. Sign up for their newsletter to stay informed about 2024 application dates.
