Our Fellows
At the Peace Economy Project, our fellows are at the heart of our vision for a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world. Each fellow brings unique insights, lived experiences, and a deep commitment to advancing meaningful change through research, storytelling, and advocacy.
Our fellowship program supports individuals working across a range of interconnected issues ranging from peacebuilding and conflict resolution to climate justice, financial inclusion, and community-led development. Fellows are selected not only for their expertise and passion, but also for their ability to reimagine systems, challenge inequities, and collaborate with others to spark lasting social impact.
