In Michaelmas 2021, the Programme kickstarted our Fellowship scheme. We are committed to offering at least one fellowship per academic year to an experienced academic or practitioner who dedicates themselves to the challenges facing the public sector, and who will be a valuable, long-term partner of the LFP in the years to come. The scheme allows fellows to visit the Blavatnik School of Government to further develop their understanding of specific policy issues, make connections in Oxford, and reflect on practices and outcomes across countries.

In 2021, the Programme welcomed two outstanding visiting fellows, Gabriela Lotta, professor in the Public Management and Government School of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation, São Paulo and Guillermo Toral, assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, United States, as the Visiting Astor Lecturer. Our 2022 fellow is Vera Monteiro, professor of Administrative Law at Getúlio Vargas Foundation, São Paulo.

This year, the Programme will also receive our first Fellow of Practice, Leany Lemos, former Planning Secretary of Distrito Federal and the State of Rio Grande do Sul and the first woman to head a subnational development bank in Brazil.
