Each year, the Irish Aid Fellowship Training Programme
brings suitably qualified candidates from developing countries to undertake
postgraduate studies at colleges and universities in Ireland.
Further students are supported for courses in their own
region. Awards are made in fields such as development studies, rural
development, health care, education and law.
The programme is one of the ways in which Irish Aid supports
capacity development in its partner countries in Africa and Asia (see right for
list), and also in Palestine.
Study fellowships are awarded by Irish Aid with the aim of
supporting and enhancing the contribution recipients can make to development
efforts in their own countries.
Participating countries include Ethiopia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique,
Palestine, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia.
A full listing of approved courses for the Irish Aid
Fellowship Training Programme is now available from Irish Embassies/Missions in
participating countries. Application forms are also available from - and should
be returned to - the Embassy.
Please note that the closing date for applications is 31st
December 2012.
