ITTO Fellowship Programme
ITTO offers fellowships through the Freezailah Fellowship Fund to promote
human resource development and to strengthen professional expertise in
member countries in tropical forestry and related disciplines. The goal is
to promote the sustainable management of tropical forests, the efficient
use and processing of tropical timber, and better economic information about the international trade in tropical timber.
As of December 2006, the Programme, which began in 1989, has enabled more
than 900 young and mid-career people from over 40 countries working for
government, research institutions, civil society and the private sector to
pursue their professional development and improve their career prospects.
The total value of fellowships awarded to date amounts to about US$5.2
million; the Programme supports mainly short-term activities, such as
participation in international conferences, training courses and study
tours, but also helps people to prepare manuals and monographs and
provides small grants for post-graduate study. Click on Resources
