<div>The Minorities Fellowship Programme (MFP) was launched by the
Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Through the MFP, the OHCHR aims to give persons belonging to
national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities an
opportunity to gain knowledge on the UN system and mechanisms
dealing with international human rights in general and minority
rights in particular.<br>
<br>
The Programme lasts 5 weeks, whereby the Fellows are based at
the OHCHR in Geneva.<br>
<br>
<strong>Fellows are entitled to the following:</strong> a return
ticket (economy class) from the country of residence to Geneva;
basic health insurance for the duration of the Programme; a
stipend to cover modest accommodation and other living expenses
for the duration of the Programme.<br>
<br>
<strong>Who can apply?</strong> <br>
The candidate must belong to a national, ethnic, linguistic or
religious minority group (persons who do not belong to a
minority group will not be taken into consideration, even if
they have close links with minority communities and/or
organizations).<br>
<br>
The call for applications is open till <strong>20 February 2012</strong>.
