MENA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2010

The  MENA Scholarship programme is initiated and fully funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme aims to contribute to capacity building within organizations and institutions in the six selected countries: Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Syria. Moreover, a network of over 110 alumni positively contributes to the relations between the Netherlands and their respective countries.

The MENA Scholarship programme’s targets groups are mid-career professionals who are employed by relevant organizations and institutions in one of the identified fields of study: water management, environmental science, business administration and management, agriculture and geology and earth sciences.

Candidates must be nationals of and working in one of the designated countries. While scholarships are awarded to individuals, the need for training must be demonstrated in the context of the organization for which the applicant works. The training must help the organization to develop its capacity.
