This handbook serves as a practical, adaptable guide for institutions planning and hosting fellowships. It outlines key principles such as equity, reciprocity, and sustainability, and supports the design of fellowships that benefit both individuals and institutions while contributing to long-term research ecosystem development. While developed within RAFIKI, the handbook is intended for broader use across international research and capacity-building initiatives.
