Are you a mid-career professional designing and overseeing low emission development strategies? Do you know of a specific team or institution that you would like to twin with to progress a specific policy or project? If so, why not apply for the newly launched LEDS GP Fellowship Program, which supports the placement of practitioners within leading institutions to learn practical lessons that will be applied to low emission development strategies (LEDS) or NDCs in their home country.
The GGKP Knowledge Partner, Low Emissions Development Strategies Global Partnership (LEDS GP) is launching a fellowship program that will take place between 15 August to 30 October 2016, at any point within that time frame. It is expected that fellowships will normally be around one month in duration.
The fellowship program aims to:
- build the capability of individuals and teams from the global South who are playing core roles in advancing LEDS in their national or subnational system
- progress specific LEDS and/or NDC policies or other actions through a short term personal interaction between peers working in a similar area
- create uptake of LEDS approaches and build experience of emerging LEDS leaders through personal experience
- establish ongoing relationships between developing country LEDS practitioners, across countries and with international technical institutes and development agencies
- build a cadre of fellows who can serve as expert advisors and trainers within their own country, and for other countries.
The deadline for applications is 1 July 2016. You can find more information, including how to apply here.
