OHCHR seeking Proposals for Minorities Fellowship Programme 2019

Call for Proposals for 2022 Local Transformation Projects - Egypt

Deadline: 20 April 2019

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is seeking proposals for its Minorities Fellowship Programme 2019 to human rights and minority rights defenders belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities.

At the end of the MFP, the fellows should have a general knowledge of the United Nations system, international human rights instruments and mechanisms in general and those relevant to minorities in particular and be capable of further training their communities/organizations. The Programme furthermore serves as an opportunity for human rights activists working towards the protection and promotion of minority rights to expand their partners’ base by building a strategic dialogue with fellow activists from across the globe, the United Nations, relevant Geneva-based NGOs, amongst other partners.

Now offered in three linguistic components: English/Russian/Arabic; this year, the MFP will take place from 4 – 29 November 2019, in Geneva, Switzerland, and fellows will be able to participate as well in the 12th Session of the Forum on Minority Issues.

Benefits

Fellows are entitled to the following: a return ticket (economy class) from the country of residence to Geneva, basic health insurance for the duration of the Programme, a stipend to cover modest accommodation and other living expenses for the duration of the Programme.
