Overseas Development Institute - ODI Fellowship Scheme
The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the UK's leading independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues.
Our mission
Our mission is to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of suffering and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in developing countries.
We do this by locking together high quality applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused dissemination and debate.
We work with partners in the public and private sectors, in both developing and developed countries.

As well as 12 core research programmes, we also host a number of flagship projects and run the ODI Fellowship Scheme.
