We are delighted to announce that eight ODID students have been awarded Overseas Development Institute Fellowships in 2015.

Joevas Asare, Melanie Graeser, Stefanie Heerwig, Nichola Kitson, Duja Michael and Katherine Stapleton are all studying for the MSc in Economics for Development at ODID. Ozlem Akkurt and Srujana Katta are studying for the MPhil in Development Studies.

The two-year Fellowships, which will begin in autumn 2015, place recent postgraduate economists in public sector positions in developing countries. ODI has awarded around 50 fellowships a year in recent years.
