Deadline: 8 April 2024

Applications are now open for the Women PeaceMakers Fellowship Programme 2024-2025. Since 2002, the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) at the University of San Diego's Kroc School has hosted the Women PeaceMakers Fellowship programme. The fellowship offers a unique opportunity for peacebuilders who focus on issues of gender, peace and conflict to engage in a cycle of learning, practice, research and participation that strengthens peacebuilding partnerships.

The Women PeaceMakers Fellowship facilitates impactful collaborations between peacebuilders from conflict-affected communities and international partner organisations. Fellows also co-create research aimed at shaping the field of peacebuilding and highlighting good practices for the design and implementation of peacebuilding.
