AUCD Invites Host Applications for the Spring 2020 Professional Fellows Program on Inclusive Disability Employment (PFP-IDE)

January 31, 2020

AUCD is excited to invite host applications for the Spring 2020 Professional Fellows Program on Inclusive Disability Employment (PFP-IDE). PFP-IDE is a U.S. Department of State professional exchange program that enables emerging disability rights leaders from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to participate in a five-week Fellowship in the U.S. where they will learn about disability advocacy and inclusive employment. Hosts will provide mentorship to the Professional Fellows and will collaborate to develop an inclusive employment project for their home countries. AUCD network members who host a Professional Fellow will have the opportunity to apply for an overseas trip to support their Fellow's project implementation and build university partnerships with key disability leaders in their Fellow's home country.

The program is administered by AUCD, ICI-UMass Boston and Humanity & Inclusion, and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Fellows will be placed with their hosts from April 25 - May 25, 2020.
