ITTO offers fellowships through the Freezailah Fellowship Fund to promote human resource development
and to strengthen professional expertise in member countries in
tropical forestry and related disciplines. The goal is to promote the
sustainable management of tropical forests, the efficient use and processing of tropical timber, and better economic information about the international trade in tropical timber.
Program objective
To develop human resources and enhance professional expertise in member
countries in tropical forestry, tropical timber industries and related
disciplines, with a view to promoting sustainable management of tropical
forests, efficient utilization and processing of tropical timber, and
better economic information on the international trade in tropical
timber.
Eligible activities
- Participation
in international/regional conferences, short-term training courses,
training internships at industries, research and educational
institutions, study tours, and lecture/demonstration tours;
- Technical document preparation, publication and dissemination, such as manuals and monographs;
- Small grants for post-graduate studies. ITTO gives preference to short-term activities.
Award The maximum amount for a fellowship is
US$10,000. ITTO Fellowships provides tuition/training/conference fees, transportation fees, daily subsistence allowance, book

Chairman of the ITTC.
