UNFCCC Fellowship Programme (informasi beasiswa (fellowship programme) di UNFCCC secretariat untuk para government officers atau PNS)

UNFCCC Fellowship Programme

The objective of the fellowship programme is to contribute to building capacity
for addressing climate change in non-Annex I Parties, in particular small island
developing States (SIDS) and least developed countries (LDCs) Parties, through
the development of local professional expertise by:

Supporting innovative analytical work on climate change in the context of
sustainable development;
Promoting a network of experts who can bring creative and innovative options to
bear on questions of climate change;
Encouraging the leadership potential of young and promising professionals in
their fields.

The programme target group consists of mid-career professionals who are already
in a government's employment and who are nationals of and working in a
developing country, particularly a SIDS and LDC Party. While fellowships are
awarded to individuals, the need for training must occur within the context of
the institution for which an applicant works. The training must help the
institution to develop its capacity. This means that the applicants must:

Obtain permission from their employer for leave of absence for the term of the
fellowship, and provide written certification that s/he will return to the
Party's governmental institution addressing climate change after her/his
fellowship for at least six month;
Get a written certification from their employer that the subject of the proposed
training is relevant to the needs of the organization.

This programme is not intended for students, and does not provide financial
support for an advanced degree, such as fieldwork for a PhD degree.

governmental organizations, ranging from educational institutions, research
institutes and ministries. Candidates must meet the following criteria:

each fellow according to her/his own area of expertise and interest. Once the
work programme is determined, the selected fellow will be placed in the relevant
secretariat programme, under the supervision/guidance of a programme officer
designated by the hosting programme.

the results of their work at the end of the fellowship period. The paper should

studies;

· develop workplans, identify specific action programs, implementation
arrangements and capacity building plans - both at regional and national
levels;
