Indigenous Fellowship Programme 31/03/2010
The Indigenous Fellowship Programme (IFP) was launched by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the context of the first International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples (1995/2004). The aim of the programme is to give indigenous peoples the opportunity to gain knowledge on the UN system and mechanisms dealing with human rights in general and indigenous issues in particular so they can assist their organizations and communities in protecting and promoting the rights of their people. In its first decade, more than 100 indigenous men and women from 46 countries undertook the programme. They provided human rights training to many more in their communities. The IFP is accessible in four different languages: English, French, Spanish and Russian. The programme -in its four linguistic versions- is held annually. Each language version has developed slightly differently and generally runs from 2 to 4 months. The selected candidates are entitled to a return flight ticket, living expenses and health insurance. Who can apply?
The selection of fellows reflects a gender and a regional balance. The general human rights situation in the respective regions/countries is also taken into consideration. A pre-selection of 15 (first five preferences and 10 alternates) candidates is made by previous indigenous fellows. The final selection of successful candidates is undertaken by an advisory group composed of indigenous persons. In view of the large number of applications, we regret to inform that only successful candidates will be contacted. How to apply? Fellowship applications will only be taken into consideration if they are fully completed. Both parts I and II must be signed and faxed or sent by regular post at the following address: Indigenous Peoples and Minorities Unit Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights UNOG-OHCHR CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland Telefax number: (+41 22) 917 90 08 Application forms need to be accompanied by an official recommendation letter from the nominating indigenous organization or community. In view of the high number of applications received, we strongly encourage you to send your form - well before the deadline - by post or by fax.

Any questions pertaining to the Indigenous Fellowship Programme can be sent to the address mentioned above or E-mailed to: fellowship@ohchr.org Permalink: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/indigenous/fellowship.htm The Arabic speaking component of the Minorities Fellowship Programme began in 2007 as a two-week pilot and expanded to three weeks in 2008 and to four weeks in 2009. It is intended primarily for persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities who are Arabic speakers and do not have a sufficient command of the English language to benefit from the longer English-speaking programme. In 2008 and 2009, the programme coincided with the inaugural session of the Forum on Minority Issues in which the fellows actively participated. This will be the case also in 2010. The 2009 programme took place from 26 October to 20 November and the following fellows benefited from it:
