Fellowship - Special Youth Programme - 2006 / UNFPA
/ Closing
date: February 17, 2006.
DESCRIPTION:
It is our
pleasure to announce that UNFPA is currently receiving
applications for its
Special Youth Programme for 2006. This programme
seeks to recruit young
people aged 20-24 from developing countries
with some programme experience in
development issues to join UNFPA
for a 9-month remunerated
fellowship.
The Special Youth Programme fellowship is divided into two
sections:
an initial 6-month fellowship in UNFPA Headquarters, New York
,
followed -upon satisfactory performance- by a continued fellowship of
up
to 3 months in the UNFPA Country Office in the country that the
fellow comes
from.
This programme is designed to give youth from developing
countries
opportunities at appropriate levels of the organization to engage
in
policy development and programming; to help build the capacity of
young
people; and to sensitize both the young people and UNFPA staff
on partnering
to address adolescent and youth issues.
During the fellowship in
Headquarters (HQ), the fellows will
undertake assignments both with the
Geographic Divisions and the
Technical Support Division (Adolescent &
Youth Cluster or other
unit). A significant part of the fellows' assignment
concerns getting
involved in existing activities, projects or programmes,
while the
remainder will focus on developing a concrete work plan or
project
proposal relevant to her/his own context and country to be
considered
for potential implementation during the subsequent 3-month
Country
Office fellowship.
