ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME

Launched in 2005, the Minorities Fellowship Programme (MFP) is OHCHR’s most
comprehensive training programme for 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. Fellows should also be capable
of further training their communities/organizations.

The Programme further serves as an opportunity for human rights activists
working towards the protection and promotion of minority rights to expand their
partners’ base. They do this by building a strategic dialogue with fellow
activists from across the globe, the United Nations, and relevant Geneva-based
NGOs, amongst other partners.

The Programme is offered in three linguistic components: English, Russian, and
Arabic.

The MFP takes place in Geneva, Switzerland. Fellows are entitled to:

 * a return ticket (economy class) from the country of residence to Geneva;
 * basic health insurance for the duration of the Programme; and
 * a stipend to cover modest accommodation and other living expenses for the
   duration of the Programme.


WHO CAN APPLY

 1. The candidate must belong to a national, ethnic, linguistic or religious
    minority group (persons who do not belong to a minority group will not be
    taken into consideration, even if they have close links with minority
    communities and/or organizations).
    
    Note: If your community identifies as indigenous, please do not apply to
    this programme but to our Indigenous Fellowship Programme. Please note that
    the Indigenous Fellowship is a separate programme and has different
    application forms and deadlines.
 2. Formal education should not be a limitation to participation in the
    Minorities Fellowship Programme, if relevant experience can be demonstrated.
 3. Candidates should have ability, willingness and possibility to train other
    persons belonging to minorities upon return to their respective
    communities/organizations, and should agree to do so.
 4. Candidates must have good working knowledge of the language in which the
    programme is imparted.
 5. The candidate should be proposed—and his/her candidacy supported—by his/her
    organization and/or community. It is desirable that the sponsoring
    organization
    •    has a firm constituency or membership in the minority;
    •    is representative of minority issues; 
    •    undertakes work on minority issues; and
    •    is composed of persons belonging to minorities.
 6. The overall goal of the Minorities Fellowship Programme is to offer persons
    belonging to minorities the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the
    field of international human rights in order to assist their organizations
    and communities in protecting and promoting human and minority rights.
    Therefore, it is important that the candidate proposed and nominated by a
    minority organization or community be someone who will return to his or her
    NGO to work in this field.


SELECTION PROCESS

An advisory group composed of OHCHR staff undertakes the selection of successful
candidates.

The selection of fellows reflects a gender and regional balance. We also take
into consideration the general human rights situation in the respective
regions/countries, and the situation of the minority community to which the
applicant belongs.

In view of the large number of applications, we regret to inform that only
successful candidates will be contacted.


HOW TO APPLY

Fellowship application forms are available in English | Russian | Arabic.

Both parts I and II of the application form must be filled in and signed. In
addition, application forms need to be accompanied by an official recommendation
letter from the nominating organization or community. Fellowship applications
will only be taken into consideration if they are fully completed.

Interested candidates should submit their application indicating "Application to
the 2024 Minorities Fellowship Programme" as subject either by e-mail* to
ohchr-fellowship@un.org or by post to:

Mr. Morse Caoagas Flores
Coordinator, Indigenous & Minorities Fellowship Programmes
Indigenous Peoples and Minorities Section
Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
48, Avenue Giuseppe-Motta, Office 2-05
CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland

*E-mailed applications must be signed, scanned and submitted as a single PDF
file.
Any questions pertaining to the Minorities Fellowship Programme can be directed
