The Netherlands Fellowship Programs (NFP) are demand oriented fellowship programs designed to foster institutional development. The NFP is financed from the portion of the Netherlands national budget that is earmarked for development cooperation. The goals of the Netherlands development cooperation are to combat poverty, contribute to sustainable development and help improve the position of women. Investments in education are seen as a key instrument in attaining these three goals. The NFP target group consists of mid-career professionals who are already in employment and who are nationals of one of 57 selected countries.

Although fellowships are awarded to individuals, the need for education training must occur within the context of the local organization for which an applicant works. The training must help the organization to develop. This means that applicants must be nominated by their employers. In fact, an application without the support of an employer will not be considered.
