The Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) Fellowships come under the particular Australia Awards initiative that was released by the Australian Government around Nov 2009. The ALA Fellowships program aims to develop leadership, address priority regional issues and build partnerships and linkages with developing countries.
The ALA Fellowships program is a global program that complements AusAID’s scholarship program. ALA Fellowships do not lead to academic qualifications. They are designed to provide short term opportunities for study, research and professional attachment programs in Australia delivered by Australian organisations.
Through the ALA Fellowships program, Australian organisations can apply for funding to support a range of activities that will develop expertise and leadership capacity in eligible countries. Applications are accepted from Australian organisations only; individuals are not eligible to apply directly.
ALA Fellowships are available across a broad range of fields relevant to Australia’s foreign policy agenda or development issues. Applications addressing the priority areas of disability and development, economic growth, education, environment, food security, gender, governance, health, human rights, infrastructure, regional stability, rural development and water and sanitation are particularly encouraged.
