Fellows participate fully in all organizational activities, working with experienced professionals in seeking practical solutions to population-related problems. This programme provides a challenging opportunity for 4-6 college graduates and graduate students each year to become an integral part of the Institute's staff and its commitment to achieve the worldwide availability of voluntary family planning.
