About the Organization

The Policy Center for the New South (PCNS) is a Moroccan think tank aiming to contribute to the improvement of economic and social public policies that challenge Morocco and the rest of Africa as integral parts of the global South.

The PCNS pleads for an open, accountable, and enterprising "new South" that defines its own narratives and mental maps around the Mediterranean and South Atlantic basins, as part of a forward-looking relationship with the rest of the world. Through its analytical endeavours, the think tank aims to support the development of public policies in Africa and to give the floor to experts from the South. This stance is focused on dialogue and partnership and aims to cultivate African expertise and excellence needed for the accurate analysis of African and global challenges and the suggestion of appropriate solutions.

About the Fellowship

As part of the Policy Center for the New South’s ongoing commitment to empowering young leaders and strengthening international collaboration, we are delighted to announce that three members of the PCNS youth community will be selected to participate in the Raisina Young Fellows Programme 2026, organized by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF).

Taking place in New Delhi, India, from March 02 to 11, 2026, alongside the Raisina Dialogue (March 5–7), India’s leading conference on geopolitics and geo-economics co-hosted with the Ministry of External Affairs, this program offers an immersive experience for emerging leaders to explore global challenges, policy innovation, and leadership in a rapidly changing world.

The Raisina Young Fellows Programme brings together outstanding young professionals from politics, diplomacy, business, media, civil society, and academia to exchange perspectives on international political, economic, and social issues, with a particular focus on Asia. Participants will engage directly with high-level political, business, and academic figures, gaining insight into diverse policy approaches and building lasting professional networks.

By joining this prestigious program, participants will not only enhance their leadership skills but also become part of an active alumni community of over 2,000 professionals, including ministers, CEOs, and senior policymakers.

This call for applications is part of the partnership between PCNS, ORF, and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), through which each institution nominates outstanding individuals to participate in one another’s programs, fostering cross-regional dialogue and shared learning.
