The Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP) is a fellowship Programme initiated and fully funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the budget for Development Cooperation.

The overall aim of the NFP is to support alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower within a wide range of governmental, private and non-governmental organizations. This by offering fellowships to mid-career professionals to improve the capacity of their employing organization. The need for training has to be evident within the context of an organization. This implicates that applicants have to be nominated by their employers. Applications without the support of employer are considered ineligible.

From 1 January 2012, the modality of Tailor- Made Training has been included in the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP). Please note that the Programme description and the description about procedures will become available on the NUFFIC www.nuffic.nl/tmt
