OHCHR - SIDS/LDCs Fellowship

The aim of the Fellowship programme, organized by the OHCHR, is to give representatives of Governments from Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States a better understanding and appreciation of the Human Rights Council. Through this experience the Fellow will gain knowledge and working level experience with the Council, its mechanisms and subsidiary bodies. The experience may also be supplemented by knowledge of Treaty Bodies. It will also allow the Fellow to develop an extensive contact network with other Geneva-based delegations, OHCHR, other UN departments and agencies, as well as NGOs represented in Geneva. 
 
It is envisaged that the Fellow will return to his/her Government and thereby strengthen their national capacity to participate more fully in the work of the Human Rights Council and facilitate their effective and informed participation in consultative and decision-making processes, including negotiations.
