Applications are now open for the DREEM Fellowship Program 2024-25 Cohort!
EED Advisory Limited and the CS Mott Foundation are thrilled to announce the launch of the DREEM (Distributed Renewable Energy Ecosystem Model) Fellowship Program! EED Advisory is now accepting applications from recent university graduates for its inaugural Y2024-25 cohort. This fellowship program aims to develop local talent in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda that will contribute to addressing the imbalance in capital flows to non-profit actors in the energy access sector.
Overview
The DREEM Fellowship Program is an innovative initiative designed to foster capacity building within local organizations by recruiting skilled and motivated fellows. These fellows will be seconded to local organizations to provide crucial administrative, managerial and technical support. The program aims to enhance the operational efficiency and strategic capabilities of these organizations, enabling them to better navigate the complex landscape of climate financing opportunities. By embedding highly qualified professionals within these organizations, the Fellowship Program helps bridge the gap between local needs and global funding mechanisms.
A key component of the Fellowship Program is its focus on identifying and developing fundraising proposals for climate financing. Fellows will work closely with the staff of local organizations to assess their needs, identify potential funding sources, and develop comprehensive proposals that align with the requirements of domestic and international funding donors and agencies. This hands-on approach ensures that local organizations are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to secure funding for climate-related projects, thereby promoting sustainable development and environmental resilience.
The program will select fellows from a diverse pool of candidates, ensuring a wide range of expertise and perspectives. By fostering a collaborative environment, the DREEM Fellowship Program not only strengthens the capacity of local organizations but also promotes knowledge sharing and professional development among the fellows.
Features of the Fellowship Program include;
- Applied Training: Responsive training on the architecture of climate finance, emerging trends, and opportunities for climate action in East Africa.
- Targeted placement: 6-month secondment to work in and support efforts of a non-profit entity in Kenya, Uganda, or Tanzania.
- Continuous Networking: Interact with industry leaders, thought leaders, grant makers and peers through conferences, shared projects, and other platforms.
Apply now and be part of a transformative journey towards supporting climate action in East Africa.
