2024 Theme: Fragility and Resilience
In its fifth iteration, the Fellowship turns its focus to the critical intersection of fragility and resilience, particularly within conflict-affected regions. The latest findings from the Global Organized Crime Index underscore the heightened vulnerability of conflict zones to the influence of organized crime. Against this backdrop, the 2024 Fellowship seeks to empower individuals and organizations working in fragile environments to build resilience and counter the insidious effects of criminality.
Key Objectives and Support Mechanisms:
The 2024 Resilience Fellowship will provide comprehensive support to ten Fellows selected from diverse backgrounds and contexts. Through a multifaceted approach encompassing grants, capacity building, and networking opportunities, the Fellowship aims to:
- Grants: Each Fellow will receive a grant of US$15,000 to implement community projects aimed at bolstering resilience and countering organized crime. These grants are designed to address the financial constraints faced by individuals operating in fragile contexts, ensuring that resources reach those most in need.
- Capacity Building: Fellows will benefit from a tailored training and mentoring program, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the complex challenges posed by criminal economies and security risks.
