Most of these fellowship courses are open for the Netherlands Fellowship Program (NFP) to working professionals who are the citizen of and are working in the NFP country. An NFP fellowship is intended to supplement the salary that the fellow should continue to receive during the study period. The allowance is a contribution towards the costs of living, the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research.

We have compiled a list of open short courses of CDI for which applications can be made for NFP.  Interested individuals belonging to and working in NFP countries who meet the eligibility criteria for the course are invited to submit applications to both CDI and NFP. Remember to go through ‘how to apply’ section to be clear on the key dates to apply for NFP and the CDI course to be eligible for the course with NFP fellowship.

Currently, I am serving as county/district extension officer for the Farmers Union Network of Liberia working with rural farmers in creating a framework for food security in rural post conflict Liberia, West Africa; under the (International Fund for Agriculture Development(IFAD) sponsor food security program ongoing in rural Liberia.
    I am interested in participating in your short term training program in the field of climate change and mitigation,but my country-Liberia is not in the number of selected countries you listed on the page sent me. How can you incorporate me in your program for this term?

    where we work with farmers(Solidarty groups) where most their activities are affected by climate change.

    I am an Ethiopian. I am a young leader at Executive Director position of successful emerging NGO. I have applied a number times to attend relevant training on which I qualify most, however, the out come of the selection is negative. I am really discouraged to apply again. Would you mind briefing why the chance of wining the scholarship is such narrow.
