Dear Selected Fellow,
We would like to notify you of being selected in our Fellowship in Humanitarian Leadership. The humanitarian field is growing and changing quickly. The increasing numbers of people in need, humanitarian workers and budgets have resulted in massive growth of and demand on the system. These shifts mean we need new models of effective humanitarian assistance and more capable humanitarian leaders to develop and implement them.
From conflicts to natural disasters, humanitarians are at the forefront of providing life-saving aid to populations in need. Negotiating access to these populations and ensuring that aid is delivered in a manner that respects humanitarian norms and international law is no easy task. This work requires strong leadership and strategic vision. Yet, few humanitarian professionals in developing countries have access to leadership training programmes.
This fellowship is committed to preparing the next generation of humanitarian leaders for today’s global challenges. Our programmes have achieved regional and global recognition as a result of our commitment to curricular innovations, community and international partnerships.
Participants will also gain edge over a significant number of humanitarian jobs and fully-funded scholarship opportunities offered by universities, foreign governments and international organizations.
This programme is self-paced. Fellows and selected postgraduate observers will connect to the learning platform at their own time, access learning materials and return tasks within a reasonable deadline.
