UNDP Human Development Fellowships 2006
Academic Fellowships
The Objective of the UNDP Human Development Fellowships
for Asia Pacific (Academic) is to encourage young Ph.D.
students from the Asia Pacific region to analyse development
issues from a human development perspective, contributing
to theories, applications and policies.
This is intended for PhD students who are at an advanced
dissertation stage working on a topic related to human
development – theoretical, applied or policy-oriented.
The idea is to push the boundaries of the discipline by
encouraging creative, high quality academic work.
Selection will be based on an assessment of written
proposals not exceeding 2,500 words. A review of
eligibility and an assessment of proposals submitted
will be the basis for shortlisting. Shortlisted
candidates may be required to participate in an interview.
Applications should be submitted by 30 April 2006.
