Program Information
The Asia Foundation Development Fellows program is a dynamic and multifaceted learning program offered each year to enhance leadership skills, Asian development knowledge, professional networks, and international exposure for Asian professionals. The program consists of a series of intensive program modules (two weeks each) in Asia and the United States, while providing the flexibility for Fellows to custom-tailor their own professional development components and to stay in their current occupations during their Fellowship year. Fellows are highly talented individuals, under age 40, who have demonstrated outstanding commitment, integrity, and leadership potential within their professional fields and within their larger community. Fellows must also display a track record of experience and accomplishment related to The Asia Foundation’s fields of expertise–governance and law, economic development, women’s empowerment, environment, and regional cooperation.
