Launched in 2003, the UNITAR Fellowship for Afghanistan is a long-term capacity building initiative aimed at enhancing management and leadership skills, and providing technical and institutional support to a core group of Afghan government officials, academics and practitioners.

• Network of Mentors from around the world;

• Afghan ‘Coaches’ selected from among the Fellowship’s own participants to assist in-coming Fellows;

• Formation of a Fellowship Community of like-minded professionals within Afghanistan as a common resource.

Focus of study:

• Post-conflict reconstruction;

• Civil service and institutional development;

• Project design and management;

• Communication techniques, proposal and report writing;
