The Echidna Global Scholars Program's Visiting Fellowship is hosted by the Center for Universal Education (CUE), within the Global Economy and Development program, at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. The Echidna Global Scholars Program (the Program) aims to strengthen the capacity of local leaders to advance gender equality in and through education across the Global South and globally. During a six-month Fellowship at Brookings, spanning a pre-residency and residency phases, Scholars conduct individual research focused on improving learning opportunities and life outcomes for girls, young women, and gender non-conforming people, develop their leadership and evidence-based policy skills, build substantive knowledge on gender and global education issues, and expand their pathways for impact. The Fellowship consists of three phases: Pre-residency: sets the basis for the research training, leadership, and strategic impact components of the program. With the support of CUE fellows and the gender equality in and through education team, scholars begin an intensive period of in-country data collection and analysis, accompanied by a series of virtual workshops, group working meetings, and individual advisory sessions. Scholars are introduced to the concepts and tools that will be the focus of the leadership development program throughout the Fellowship and begin developing an impact strategy, identifying and engaging with local actors. Time commitment is roughly 15-20 hours a week during this phase. Residency: the residency period in Washington, DC focuses primarily on clarifying Scholars' focus and expanding their reach and impact. The residency phase is designed to support Scholars as they strengthen skills and practices for analyzing, communicating, and leveraging research for policy contexts and key audiences and engage in a reflective and individualized leadership development program. The residency also seeks to expand Scholars' networks and promote visibility through Brookings convenings and strategic collaborations, culminating with their participation in the Gender Equality in and through Education Research and Policy Symposium. Over the course of the residency, Scholars will engage in analysis of data collected during the pre-residency phase and will work closely with the CUE team to translate their research into an action-oriented policy brief and strategic commentaries, which will be published and disseminated on Brookings's multimedia platforms. Post-residency: During the two-year period following residency, the CUE team provides intentional support to alumni as they translate their research into action with through the implementation of impact projects in their home countries. Through impact planning, strategic advisement and leadership development work, CUE supports scholars as they leverage the knowledge, skills, and connections built throughout the Fellowship to catalyze change in their contexts. In addition, upon completion of the residency, scholars transition into the Echidna Global Scholars Alumni Network (EGSAN), a growing network of educators, researchers, community leaders and policy influencers grounded in diverse lived experiences and united by a shared commitment to gender equality in and through education. The network is a dynamic space that drives collaborative research, shared learning, regional and global convenings, and collective action to advance systemic transformation change globally, regionally and locally. Since its inception in 2012, the Echidna Global Scholars Program has hosted fourteen cohorts of fellows and supports an alumni network of 48 scholars working in more than 25 different countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. About the Center for Universal Education: As part of the Global Economy and Development program at the Brookings Institution, the Center for Universal Education develops and disseminates effective solutions for quality education and skills development. It offers a forum for research, high-level dialogue, and public debate on a range of issues relevant to education, with a particular focus on the Global South. CUE envisions a world where all children and youth have the holistic skills they need to succeed in the 21st century and plays a critical role in influencing the development of policy related to global education, promoting actionable strategies for governments, civil society and private enterprise. The Echidna Global Scholars Program is part of CUE's broader efforts to catalyze and sustain collaborative action to achieve quality education for all, seeking to build the evidence base on policies and practices supporting gender equality in and through education in countries throughout the Global South. Given the Echidna Global Scholars' understanding of the complex dynamics within their own communities, they are often best suited to craft strategies and solutions that address context-specific barriers and engage local decision-makers to transform systems for long-term change. To that end, the research and impact projects of the Echidna Global Scholars contribute to an important process of evidence-informed systems transformation and policy development. Moreover, the capacity and professional development they undergo during the Fellowship helps to strengthen a leadership pipeline for education leaders around the world. Responsibilities Once selected to participate in the Fellowship, Echidna Global Scholars will spend approximately two months in pre-residency, working remotely from their home countries, followed by four months in residency at The Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. During this time, Scholars will work with the Center for Universal Education to complete a uniquely developed research project and strategy for policy impact designed to increase the evidence base and improve learning opportunities and life outcomes for girls, young women, and/or gender non-conforming people in their countries. Following their time in residence in Washington DC, Scholars will be supported in the implementation of activities in their local context that build on the findings of their research and will join the alumni network. The Fellowship is a full-time, exclusive commitment during the residency period (roughly 40 hours/week) and a substantial part-time commitment during the pre-residency period (roughly 15-20 hours/week).
