Fellowship
The CDRI Fellowship Programme empowers researchers to drive innovative, locally anchored solutions for resilient infrastructure.
Through a 12-month seed grant, fellows gain resources to develop scalable, actionable resilience solutions while engaging in peer learning and capacity building initiatives.
By bridging gaps in funding, cross-sector collaboration, and research implementation, the programme helps transformative ideas overcome institutional barriers and achieve meaningful, real-world impact across diverse geographies and development contexts.
