Who can apply
The call is open only to government institutions in World Bank-classified low- and middle-income countries; Uganda qualifies. The applying agency must be developing, piloting or deploying an AI tool for a specific governance or administrative challenge. Each application must nominate a two-person team consisting of a policy leader with genuine decision-making authority and a technical practitioner directly involved in the initiative. Participants must be able to participate in English, and the proposal must show institutional backing and a credible implementation path.
About this opportunity
This five-day technical bootcamp helps government teams move AI-enabled public-administration initiatives from concept or pilot toward implementation. Selected teams learn from Korean public-sector AI systems, complete hands-on technical work and produce an implementation roadmap with World Bank and Korean experts.
Benefits
The programme covers the five-day bootcamp, international travel and accommodation for the two selected team members, official invitation letters and visa-facilitation support, interpretation, site visits, technical workshops, coding exercises, expert engagement and development of an implementation roadmap. Some teams may later receive limited technical follow-up through remote advisory or possible in-country support, but the programme states that no direct post-bootcamp financial support is provided.
Requirements
Submit an English-language proposal describing the public-sector challenge, proposed AI solution, technical and data readiness, institutional support, implementation risks, learning objectives and planned next steps. At least one document proving institutional backing is required, such as a senior-leadership mandate or endorsement, documented budget allocation, inter-agency agreement, or cabinet or ministerial decision. Relevant diagrams, policy documents and budget commitments may also be attached.
How to apply
Submit the proposal through the official submission form linked from the World Bank GovTech page by the deadline. Nominate exactly two eligible government participants, attach the required institutional-backing evidence and complete all proposal questions. Selected teams must attend the full five-day bootcamp and later submit the required implementation roadmap.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
