The
Fellowship Programme is an excellent
example of a South-South initiative.
It is based on the voluntary contributions
of fellowships by leading training
institutions in order to strengthen
the human resource base of both PPD
and other developing countries.
Through
this carefully conceived programme,
PPD provides unique opportunities
for high-quality professional exchanges
among developing countries at very
reasonable costs. The PPD Secretariat’s
role is match the expertise of well-established
training institutions with the needs
and interests of qualified professionals.
Prospective fellows must provide proof
that the knowledge and skills they
seek to acquire will contribute to
improved programme design and management
in their own countries, with their
current employer. Final selection
of the candidates depends on the providing
institutions.
As
soon as the fellowship programme was
approved at the fourth Annual Board
Meeting in November 1998, the Cairo
Demographic Center (CDC) stepped forward
with the generous offer of four one-year
diploma courses in “Population
and Sustainable Development.”
This gesture generated much enthusiasm
and goodwill and helped the programme
off to a very good start.
The
real value of the fellowship Programme,
cannot be measured in financial terms
alone. Participants were asked to
evaluate the programmes they attended
and to prepare proposals on how they
plan to apply what they learned to
the situation in their own countries.
Many fellows stressed that they benefited
not only from the training curriculum
but also from the daily opportunities
for discussions and the exchange of
experiences with colleagues from other
developing countries.
