Three Dutch MDF courses are presently offered with complete MSP & OKP scholarships that cover all participant support costs, including travel expenses, lodging, meals, excursions, and of course the training fee.
Priorities for OKP scholarship funding
The Dutch Ministry, which is funding the scholarships, seeks to build the capacity of organisations working in or around one of four main areas: first, Sexual and reproductive health and rights; second, Security and the rule of law; and third, Governance and the rule of law. The other two are food and water security. You should include in your application if you have experience in one of these areas of emphasis.
Each of the Netherlands embassies in the OKP countries adheres to the government’s policy guidelines. Within this framework, they have established their field’s priorities. To obtain additional information, please visit the Embassy’s website. We wish to underline that applications that do not align with the Country Focus have a low likelihood of getting chosen.
There is an additional priority for Sub-Saharan Africans and women.
