Fellowship

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.
