The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes

The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) are designed to promote capacity building within organisations in 61 countries by providing training and education to mid-career staff.

The NFP is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the budget for development cooperation.

The overall aim of the NFP is to help alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower within a wide range of governmental, private and non-governmental organisations.

This is done by offering fellowships to mid-career professionals to improve the capacity of their employing organisations.

Application deadlines

During the year, there are several application deadlines. Be sure to check which deadline applies to the course or study programme you wish to apply for.
