FULLY FUNDED TO NEW YORK: Apply for the United Nations Nippon Foundation Strategic Needs Fellowship Programme
Applications are being accepted for the 2024 session of the Nippon Foundation Strategic Needs Fellowship Programme by the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations, Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (OLA/DOALOS).
In order to address identified strategic needs in the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and related instruments, as well as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 and other related SDGs, the Nippon Foundation Strategic Needs Fellowship is intended to support developing states, especially least developed countries, small island developing states, and landlocked developing countries. The Fellowship is intended for government employees who hold important positions in their administration and are responsible for addressing the aforementioned issues but have little experience with ocean affairs or maritime law.
Selected Fellows attend a four-month training session at OLA/DOALOS at UN Headquarters in New York. The programme is built around a basic curriculum and is supplemented with a highly customised individual curriculum created in conjunction with the nominating State.
The structure, curriculum, and deliverables of the fellowship
The Fellowship is a four-month training programme at the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, at UN Headquarters in New York. For the chosen candidates, DOALOS creates a highly customised personalised curriculum based on the high-priority needs indicated by their respective States, with the goal of enhancing Fellows' capacity to support the State in effectively addressing such needs.
The Fellows will also have full access to the training programmes created for the UN-NF Fellows, providing them with chances for further education and networking.
Several assignments that must be finished in relation to the training programme and the creation of an ocean governance matrix are among the deliverables of the fellowship programme.
Fellows may participate in a learning placement with a Department of the United Nations Secretariat, a specialised agency, an organisation linked with the United Nations, or any other pertinent organisation throughout the four-month training session, contingent upon requirements assessment.
Annually, the Strategic Needs Fellowship is available, often throughout the months of August through December.
