Irish Aid Fellowship Training Programme
2011-12 Irish Aid Fellowship Training Programme awardees studying in Ireland
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 nine 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.
ICOS works closely with Irish Aid on the management and administration of the Fellowship Training Programme.
