About, Objectives & For Whom The Young Women Leaders in Public Policy Fellowship (YWLPPF) – Cohort 4.0 is an Online International Winter School Program designed to cultivate young women changemakers dedicated to shaping inclusive, equitable, and future-ready public policy. Organized by the IMPRI Gender Impact Studies Center (GISC), this three-month immersive leadership certificate training fellowship offers an engaging platform for learning, dialogue, and hands-on engagement across key areas of governance, policy processes, social justice, and leadership. Through expert-led sessions, collaborative activities, and guided policy writing, participants gain the knowledge, confidence, and networks needed to lead with purpose in a rapidly globalising world. Theme: Women Leadership in a Globalised World In today’s globalised world—where economies, technologies, and societies are more interconnected than ever—women’s leadership stands at a critical crossroads. As global shifts reshape labour markets, governance systems, and political landscapes, women continue to lead transformative change across sectors. This fellowship explores how young women can navigate and influence these dynamic intersections, recognising their power to challenge structural inequalities, expand democratic participation, and craft more inclusive, just, and sustainable policy futures. “Women Leadership in a Globalised World” places young women at the centre of discussions on governance, diplomacy, economic transitions, digital futures, climate action, and social movements. It acknowledges both the opportunities created by globalisation—greater access to knowledge, networks, and leadership spaces—and the persistent gendered barriers that remain. The fellowship aims to equip emerging leaders with the skills, perspectives, and agency to engage globally while driving meaningful change in their local contexts.
