Now accepting applications for the 2019 Asia Foundation Development Fellows: Emerging Leadership for Asia’s Future program.
The Asia Foundation is searching for its sixth cohort of highly talented Development Fellows. Applications will be accepted through Oct. 22, 2018.
We ask your support in helping to spread word of the program across your networks in Asia.
Launched in 2014 to engage and empower a dynamic community of emerging leaders from across Asia, the Development Fellows program reflects The Asia Foundation’s six-decade tradition of investing in the region’s most promising changemakers. Each year, the program brings together a group of accomplished individuals under 40 years of age—NGO and civil society leaders, government officials and policymakers, social entrepreneurs, journalists, environmentalists, and academics—who are deeply committed to building an inclusive Asia.
The 2019 program will consist of two intensive modules, including two weeks in Asia in the spring and another two weeks in the United States in the fall, allowing Fellows to stay in their current occupations during the Fellowship year. The program will commence in April with a Leadership Training Program in Korea, presented in partnership with the Korea Development Institute, and will continue in Indonesia for a Workshop on Asian Development, where Fellows engage with various development practitioners to understand the mechanics of change on the ground.
In September, the Fellows will visit San Francisco and Washington, D.C., for a Leadership Dialogue and Exchange. A flexible professional development award of US $5,000 will also be provided to each Fellow to use throughout the Fellowship year.

Thank you for your continued support for the Asia Foundation Development Fellows: Emerging Leadership for Asia’s Future program.
