Call for applications for the 2013 English Speaking Fellowship Programme

The Indigenous Fellowship Programme was launched in 1997 by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the context of the first International Decade of the World's Indigenous People.

The aim of the programme is to give indigenous people the opportunity to gain knowledge on the UN system and mechanisms dealing with human rights issues in general and indigenous issues in particular.

Trained participants are better equipped to assist their organisations and communities in protecting and promoting their rights.

Please note that the deadline to receive applications for the 2013 English speaking Indigenous Fellowship Programme  is: Tuesday 1 May 2012.

We strongly encourage you to send your applications (by post or fax) well before the deadline. Please also note that given the high number of applications that we usually receive, we are not anymore in a position to print scanned applications. Therefore, scanned applications sent via email will not be taken into consideration.
