The Grand Strategy Fellowship Forum Thursday, 29 October 2026
RegisterBut the future of the continent’s global influence will not be shaped by yesterday’s diplomats and professionals alone. It will be molded by the generation now entering government, diplomacy, business, academia, international organizations, and public service.
The GSF Forum invites applications from diplomats, government officials, policy professionals, students, researchers, strategic thinkers, scholars, entrepreneurs, and corporate professionals who are committed to understanding and advancing Kenya’s role in Africa and the world. The objective is to learn from those who have shaped Kenya’s strategic journey, interrogate the decisions behind its successes and setbacks, and build relationships with influential practitioners and peers.
The outcomes include developing the strategic judgement required to operate in an increasingly contested global environment. We are inviting individuals who do not simply want to understand geopolitics and geo-economics, but are eager to shape it, to register under the following fellowship tracks:
