Applications Open for United Nations – The Nippon Foundation Critical Needs Fellowship!

Deadline: 5 October 2018

Applications are now open for “United Nations – The Nippon Foundation Critical Needs Fellowship” Building capacity to address critical needs of the most vulnerable States which was established in 2017 as one of three core activities under the United Nations – Nippon Foundation Sustainable Ocean Programme.

The Fellowship aims to assist developing States, particularly least developed countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, to address identified critical needs in the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and related instruments, as well as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 and other related SDGs.

Through the targeted building of human capacity, the Critical Needs Fellowship addresses needs-based capacity gaps at the national level to overcome critical capacity barriers to enable the most vulnerable States to better address strategically important and time-sensitive ocean affairs and the law of the sea issues they are faced with.

This specific purpose will be achieved through the delivery of critical capacity assistance, in the format of a Fellowship Programme, to Government officials from developing States with limited background in ocean affairs and the law of the sea, who are filling key positions in their Administration to address identified critical needs in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 and other related SDGs.
