Testimonials

'What made the fellowship particularly valuable was the strong focus on practical work. Through assignments such as stakeholder mapping, a policy brief, a public consultation response, an advocacy document, and an op-ed, we were encouraged to apply policy concepts to real-world questions.'

'The programme created an environment where policy discussions were not limited to theory but were closely connected to how policy is shaped, interpreted, and implemented. One of the most impactful aspects of the fellowship was the exposure to practitioners from industry, government, and policy institutions.'

'Policy Agora has been one of the most intellectually enriching learning experiences I have had. What made the programme truly special was the environment it created, one where learning was driven not by pressure or rote methods, but through dialogue, application, and critical thinking.'

'The program created a platform for people like me who are not from privileged colleges or universities, but carry a deep curiosity for public policy. During the fellowship, I got the chance to interact with bureaucrats, scholars and authors to learn from their experiences.' 

'The programme brought together both academic perspectives and practitioners' experiences Conversations with people who have already built careers in this space were especially helpful in understanding what different career paths can look like.'
