Netherlands - 2008 Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) (administered by Nuffic)

The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) are demand-driven fellowship programmes designed to foster capacity building within organizations in 57 countries in development by providing training and education to their mid-career staff members. The NFP are funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the budget for development cooperation.

The need for education and training must occur within the organization of the applicant. This means that applicants must be nominated by their employers. In fact, applications without the support of an employer will not be considered.

Nuffic (the Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education) administers the NFP on behalf of the Minister for Development Cooperation. The Minister determines the policy that governs the framework of the NFP programme. Nuffic manages and monitors the programmes as a whole. The Dutch organizations selected to provide the required education and training are responsible for awarding and administering the fellowships.
