Environmental Assessment Professional Development Fellowship Program
The Environmental Assessment Professional Development (PD) program received funding from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) for the fourth round of the programme's implementation. Up to eight PD opportunities in Environmental Assessment (EA) for professionals from Eastern and Southern Africa will be awarded through competitive selection. The overall goal of the program is to enhance Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) capacity through learning by doing, and to strengthen professional EA networks in the sub-regions. 

The fellowship covers cost of travel, lodging, meals, tuition (where applicable) and other associated expenses for a period of 2 to 3 months, while the PD fellows are participating on a professional EA team or engaged in applied training. A modest stipend to cover incidentals or out of pocket allowance will be provided as deemed appropriate. At the end of the fellowship program, the PD Fellow must provide written evaluations on their experience in the program.

The program focuses on individuals with strong academic qualifications; relevant work experience and current employment in areas related to EA, but lack or require more practical hands-on experience. Application is open to professionals working in governments, Non Government Organisations, private or volunteer organisations, universities and local consulting firms from the Eastern and Southern Africa Region ( Includes the following countries: Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda for Eastern Africa and Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland and South Africa).

The deadline for application is 29 November 2007.
