Introduction: The ODI Fellowship Scheme

The Fellowship Scheme has been enabling young postgraduate economists to work in the public sectors of developing countries for over 40 years. Fellows are employed on two-year contracts in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Since its initiation in 1963, the Scheme has worked in 40 countries concentrating on those most in need, and has helped more than 950 economists into careers in development. The Scheme is growing; in 2012, 54 awards were made and at present there are over 100 Fellows in post with 23 developing country governments as partners in the Scheme, as well as two regional bodies. The demand-led nature of the Scheme means that it is an attractive way for governments to build capacity in their public sectors and improve the execution of economic policy. Its excellent reputation and unique form of technical assistance means that it is held in high regard by the development community.

The costs of employing each Fellow are shared between the recipient government and ODI, making this a unique form of technical support. Over recent years, ODI has secured funding for the Scheme through grants provided by the Department for International Development (DfID), AusAID, the Commonwealth and governments of the Scheme’s member countries and their trust funds.

‘[An] outstanding contribution [was]

given by the authors of our Trade Policy

Framework. Professor Biman Prasad and

Dr Andrea Giacomelli have been able to

deliver an inspiring vision which I am sure

will provide lasting benefit to the Republic

and its own people.’

Vanuatu Prime Minister on Andrea Giacomelli, Ministry of Trade and

Industry, Vanuatu, 2010-2012

Objectives of the Fellowship Scheme

The Scheme has two goals:

• to provide governments of developing countries with high-calibre junior professional economists where gaps in local expertise exist

• to provide recent postgraduate economists with practical work experience in a developing country.

Governments often face capacity problems and view the Scheme as an effective means of employing well-qualified and highly motivated economists. Fellows become line employees within the civil service, making this a highly flexible form of technical assistance.

The host government draws up Terms of Reference for each two-year posting. The success of the Scheme and the respect it has gained from governments is demonstrated by the consistently high demand for Fellows and by the degree of responsibility often entrusted to Fellows.

The Scheme has also earned a strong reputation among prospective applicants and their universities. It gives Fellows the rare opportunity to develop their skills within a developing country’s government. The Scheme is highly competitive with all applicants offering postgraduate qualifications and often relevant work experience.

‘The ODI Fellowship Scheme is and will

continue to be beneficial to the Department of

Development Planning... This is one area in the

Government of Lesotho where there is serious

shortage of skills, especially the sectoral

analytical skills pertinent to the process.’

Development Planning, Ministry of Finance and Development Planning,

Recruitment and selection process 2012

Fellowships are awarded annually. Applications will only be accepted if they are completed correctly according to the instructions available on our website and submitted by the closing date in December. Applications should be made via the online system.

At the same time ODI invites governments interested in employing Fellows the following year to indicate their likely requirements.

Short-listed candidates are invited to attend a selection board in February which involves a panel interview and group exercises. At the end of the selection process, offers are made subject to suitable posts being secured with host governments. Considerable emphasis is placed on personal contact and discussion both at the selection stage and in the careful matching of Fellows to posts.

Matching Fellows to posts

Between March and June, ODI representatives conduct placement missions to countries participating in the Scheme. These visits provide an opportunity to monitor existing posts with both employer and Fellow and for detailed discussions between governments and ODI about their likely requirements for future Fellows.

Governments are given profiles of selected candidates and asked to consider the suitability of particular Fellows for identified post(s), confirming their requests for Fellows by June. ODI undertakes consultations about specific postings with prospective Fellows in June, governments are then notified of the availability of individuals for each post and are invited to make formal offers of employment.

Briefings for new Fellows are arranged by ODI in July each year in London. This is an opportunity for ODI to provide new Fellows with as much information as possible about their posting and provides a forum for new and ex-Fellows to meet at an annual reception. It is essential for all recruited Fellows to attend the briefing sessions in preparation for their new positions.

Fellows are expected to take up their posts between August and October. Start dates are negotiated according to individual availability and the requirements of the employing government.

Administrative and financial arrangements

Although Fellows are selected and appointed by ODI, they are employees of the governments or public bodies for which they work. The latter bear local employment costs while ODI supplements Fellows’ income and meets the costs of the Fellows’ passage and other related expenses. The precise division of responsibilities is normally as follows.

The local employer is responsible for:

• paying the salary for the post which would be payable to a locally recruited national with similar qualifications and experience

• providing similar conditions of service (e.g. accommodation, leave entitlement, expense allowances, medical insurance) that are offered to local staff in similar grades.

Contracts of employment between the host government and individual Fellows determine the Fellow’s local salary and other terms and conditions of service. These vary from country to country according to the post held, cost of living and other factors.

ODI is normally responsible for:

• recruitment and selection of Fellows; arranging placements; providing Fellows’ pre-departure briefing and allowances

• paying monthly supplementation. This is an allowance which takes into account local income and costs. Supplementation is designed to bring Fellows’ income up to international junior professional levels

• Fellows’ passage and baggage expenses at the start and end of the two-year contract

• emergency medical insurance cover in post.

Total emoluments, including local supplementation at present (2012) amount to around £21,000 p.a.

‘The ODI Fellow handled the job successfully for

two financial years. In addition, she trained

staff to take over that responsibility. In other words, she

ensured that there is capacity developed in the department since

she knew that she was leaving at a very crucial time when we were just

embarking on preparing the envelope for the

following fiscal year.’

Maris Wanyera, Commissioner of

Macroeconomic Policy, Ministry of Finance,

Planning and Economic Development, Uganda

Meet the ODI FellowsKabira Namit Ghana Education Service, 2009–2011

After nearly two years of working here, I can safely say that there is nothing like a typical day at the Ghana Education Service! Primarily, I’m part of a four-member team that works on the $1.8 billion Ghana Education Budget. We allocate government and donor resources across the country for the running costs of schools and for infrastructure projects. Also, there are plenty of opportunities to travel across the country on official trips, interacting with the regional budget officers and travelling to schools for monitoring new projects.

I spend a significant amount of my time with Planning and Statistics Officers from all the districts of Ghana – training them in basic forecasting methods, helping them allocate their resources more effectively by analysing the Annual Education Census database and designing Annual Operational Plans.

The Ghana Education Service is always receptive to new ideas – my recommendations regarding the scope for efficiency savings in our budgetary process were fully accepted and we were able to reduce the time we spend working on the budget by approximately five weeks.

Anisa Berdellima

Ministry of Health, Burundi, 2011–2013

My Fellowship as a health economist at the Ministry of Health in Burundi is allowing me to bring my passion, my skills and my dedication to improve public health. At the ministry I work on all important policy areas that affect the lives of millions of people. For example, we designed and are implementing a national health insurance scheme that will provide free access to health services to the part of population that is the most vulnerable. At the same time, I am part of a team conducting a thorough study into national hospitals – a study that will allow us to understand the key problems currently facing hospitals. Based on our findings we will develop a set of policy options that will improve the financial management aspect of the hospitals and the quality of care provided. I also co-ordinate the Groupe Thematique du Financement, which brings together all the financial and technical donors to improve aid coordination and efficiency. Nowhere else can anyone have a more direct impact on the lives of people than by working at the heart of government. This lets you implement policies that can bring about change. Being a Fellow you are a key part of that change.

Sara Nyman Ministry of Trade and Industry – Private Sector Development, Malawi, 2011–2013

Being an integral part of a government Ministry puts an ODI Fellow in a unique position. The Ministry and its staff become your professional support network and your knowledge base; and, in turn, you become theirs.

The learning curve is steep and, as I write nine months into my posting, mine has not yet shown any signs of relenting. On the contrary, as one becomes more accepted as a team member and discovers how to learn in a new – and often challenging – environment, the curve steepens.

At the same time, I have often asked myself how an ODI Fellow can assist in building the knowledge base of the Ministry. Of course the mandate of an ODI Fellow is to provide human capacity, rather than to build it. But capacity development is not exclusively the outcome of direct training – it can also be a very desirable by-product of an individual’s work. One way of achieving this is through the dissemination of research findings. As part of my role, I have conducted a survey of Malawi’s financial institutions on their lending to small and medium sized enterprises which I hope will expand the government’s knowledge base, facilitate the sharing of information between the financial sector and the government, and ultimately help inform policy making.

A second channel is simply to take a collaborative approach to tasks, and encourage information sharing and internal dialogue between colleagues: this could be as simple as calling for team meetings or encouraging use of a “Dropbox” where a central server does not exist. The need for information sharing is not just internal. Encouraging dialogue between the public sector and private sector, as well as improving inter-ministerial coordination, has been a key theme of my work. I am currently involved in establishing a Sector Wide Approach for Trade, Industry and Private Sector Development – an exciting initiative which has the potential to improve dialogue between players across the entire sector, to minimise the incidence of groups working in disjointed and isolated silos, and to promote a coordinated approach to developing the sector.

In short, encouraging collaboration, sharing and learning is an aspect of an ODI Fellow’s role which can complement and guide the technical side of the role. Indeed, it may be a crucial step towards making a truly sustainable impact.
