FELLOWSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
MANAGEMENT, AGA KHAN FOUNDATION
CANADA
Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) is
a non-denominational,
non-profit international development
agency that promotes
sustainable and equitable social development
in low-income
countries in Asia and Africa. AKFC has
a long history of
providing opportunities for the career
development of youth
through its international development
activities.
The Fellowship in International Development
Management (IDM)
programme, sponsored by AKFC in collaboration
with the Canadian
International Development Agency, is
designed to develop skills
and promote learning for outstanding
young Canadians who have a
desire and an aptitude to work effectively
in a global
environment. The IDM programme is building
on ten years of
success in which more than 100 university
graduates have
received focused study and practical
experience that has enabled
them to pursue leadership positions
in their chosen fields. The
programme, designed as a stepping stone
for careers in
international development, has proven
attractive to young
Canadians from a wide variety of disciplines
- including law,
engineering, journalism, nursing, and
business administration -
wishing to embark on global careers.
The programme consists of a four-week
Management Seminar in
Ottawa, followed by an eight-month work
placement with a
prominent South Asian non-governmental
organization. The
Management Seminar provides practical
training in development
management, emphasizing an analytical
approach, and strategic
thinking and planning. Practical skills
such as financial
management, resource development, and
results-based project
management are also introduced. In South
Asia, participants will
be placed with organizations working
in different aspects of
development, such as health, education,
natural
resource-management and micro-enterprise
development. The
programme will be held between July
23, 1999 and April 30, 2000.
Up to twenty fellowships will be awarded
for the 1999/2000
Programme.
Eligibility Criteria -
Applicants must:
1) be Canadian Citizens or landed immigrants;
2) hold, at minimum, an Honours Bachelor's
