Policy Residency
The Residency brings together top tier graduate-level researchers from diverse academic disciplines at prestigious universities to collaborate and analyze a pressing policy issue in the global south.
Residents are guided by subject-matter experts with an influential voice in public matters.
Supervisors have included renowned faculty and board members, senior civil servants, non-profit and corporate executives, along with a U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom Award winner.
Residents and advisors work together to author, publish and disseminate our annual policy brief.
The program culminates with its launch during the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
