Nigeria Health Watch Fellowship 2025 (NHW)

Summary:

Nigeria Health Watch invites early to mid-career professionals, researchers, and advocates to apply for the Science-Policy Communication Fellowship, a hands-on programme designed to equip participants with the skills needed to translate scientific research into impactful, policy-relevant communication.
