The World Bank's Government Analytics Fellowship trains public servants to use the data their own government already holds, such as administrative records and staff surveys, to make the administration work better. Built on the World Bank's Government Analytics Handbook, it supports each fellow to design and deliver a real data project inside their own ministry or agency, with World Bank and University of Oxford experts. The 2027 cohort offers three tracks: a self-paced online track, a competitive six-month immersive track with two weeks in Washington, D.C., and regional hubs. **What you get:** - Training from the experts behind the Government Analytics Handbook, with World Bank and University of Oxford support to develop your project - A global network of public servants, data experts, academics and practitioners working on data-driven public administration - Dedicated mentoring from a World Bank expert in your project's field (every in-person fellow, and a selected group of online fellows) - In-person track: about two weeks in Washington, D.C. working with World Bank staff, with hotel, travel and subsistence covered by the World Bank for fellows from ODA-eligible countries **What you'll do:** - Propose a government analytics project with clear relevance to your institution, then develop and implement it during the fellowship - Complete the virtual Government Analytics Fellowship course and submit your project (required before the in-person component) - In-person track only: commit to an intensive six-month programme including roughly two weeks in Washington, D.C. in March 2027 **Key dates:** - Applications close November 16, 2026 (no time stated; 23:59 UTC applied) - In-person training in Washington, D.C., about two weeks in March 2027, exact dates to be confirmed - Online course and project submission must be completed before the in-person training **More information:** - Fellowship page and FAQ: https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/government-analytics/brief/government-analytics-fellowship - 2027 presentation (PDF): https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/3310b2198150e89dc87fc9414f68a3bc-0050012026/original/WB-Government-Analytics-Fellowship-2027-FINAL.pdf - Contact: governmentanalytics@worldbank.org
