The Fellowship policy establishes a framework which allows UNDP to implement its own fellowship initiatives (corporate fellowships) and partner with academic and other institutions, such as international organisations, international financial institutions, foundations, national scholarship programmes and the private sector (sponsoring entities). Furthermore, the responsibilities of both UNDP and a sponsoring entity are clarified. The policy also establishes the basic principles to be followed when UNDP decides to fund a fellowship initiative. Until further notice, all fellowships initiatives will be reviewed by TAPP/OHR prior to implementation.
