- increasing the capability and professional development of selected Fellows to advance priority development issues bilaterally, sub-regionally and/or regionally.
Fellowship activities aim to provide high-quality training, exchange of expertise, skills and knowledge, and opportunities to enhance networks on issues of shared interest. Activities can include a combination of short-term study and/or training, research, professional attachments and networking experiences.
