About the Middle East Partnership Leaders for Democracy Fellowship Program:

Since 2007, the Leaders for Democracy Fellowship (LDF) program has provided early and mid-career professionals from the MENA region with the opportunity to complete leadership, civic engagement, participatory governance, conflict resolution, and communication training. Emerging civic leaders with strong Arabic skills will spend three months in Lebanon. At the same time, those with university-level English proficiency will go to the United States to gain academic and practical experience and network with like-minded peers and professionals.

Fellows in the U.S.-based program engage in internships at political, non-governmental, or public policy organizations in Washington, D.C. The paired components of classroom and real-world work give fellows the theoretical understanding and practical experience in democracy and governance required to help enable them to advance initiatives across the MENA region.

Applications will be reviewed based on clearly defined criteria, including:

  • Applicants are strongly committed to being leaders of positive change in their communities.
  • Applicants demonstrate tolerance and a desire to work collaboratively with a diverse cohort of peers irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, religion, political views, and socioeconomic status.
  • Interest in participating in the program and sharing the experience with others.
  • Commitment to the implementation of a follow-on project.

Those selected will come from diverse backgrounds, and LDF aims for gender balance. The U.S. Department of State fully pays expenses for the LDF program.
