Who Teaches
the Programme
The faculty for the APF brings together professionals from ORF and Esya Centre and experts from across the policy ecosystem.
Their backgrounds span government, academia, civil society, think tanks, international organisations, and industry -- ensuring that fellows gain insight from multiple vantage points within public policy.
Immersive Expert
Sessions
In addition to core faculty, the fellowship incorporates immersive sessions with outside experts from diverse policy-relevant fields.
These are not stand-alone guest lectures, they are integrated directly into the syllabus to align with the weekly themes and assignments. Participants will engage with experts in context, applying insights immediately in workshops, simulations, and assignments.
