Leadership Development Fellows: The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination's Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) announces a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to advance inclusive governance and empower civil society in the Middle East and North Africa by providing emerging democracy and civil society leaders with academic and skill-based training, as well as linkages with other counterparts across the region. With this announcement, MEPI seeks to continue the Leaders for Democracy Fellowship (LDF) project and continue support for cadres of professionals who have both a familiarity with the theoretical elements of democratic governance and systems as well as practical experience. In the past, LDF has facilitated networking of like-minded democracy, civil society, and human rights activists region-wide. Interested applicants are encouraged to read this entire NOFO as well as the attached full project guidance before submitting an application. Applicants must present a joint application which addresses the U.S.-based project, the Middle East and North Africa-based project, and alumni responsibilities.
