IC4HD’s Human Development Fellowships for Young Professionals

The International Centre for Human Development supports countries of the Global South to help them incorporate human development concerns as an integral part of planning processes and policy making. India’s experience in using human development parameters as inputs in developing policy provides excellent examples from which other developing countries can learn. The International Centre for Human Development offers high quality training and research opportunities to government officials, policy makers, and academicians and other development practitioners and aims to encourage south-south dialogue and understanding on key human development issues

About the Fellowship

 Fellowships are open to young professionals including academics, civil servants and civil society practitioners. The selected fellows will receive INR 50,000 per month, and will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies in Shimla, India, for three months. As the Indian Institute of Advanced Study organizes several national-level seminars every year, on themes of pressing contemporary relevance as well as of fundamental theoretical significance, the fellowship provides the opportunity to interact with several scholars. The objectives of the IC4HD HD Fellowships are to:

 Support innovative analytical work on a particular theme, which is selected every year, from the human development perspective

 Identify actionable goals that could be prioritized in development initiatives in countries in the South based on the existing evidence and analysis

 Promote South-South learning and sharing of expertise and experiences
