Participation costs must be provided for by the participants. The financial information will be provided to successful candidates together with the official admission letter. Admitted candidates are allowed to attend the programme only if the required amount has been transferred to IIEP before their arrival.
Financial assistance and grants
IIEP is not a funding institution and cannot offer financial assistance. Candidates are encouraged to apply to appropriate institutions for fellowships or grants.
While some participants attend the programme on a self-financing basis, most participants are funded by their employer, including Ministries, international organizations, and NGOs. These grants are generally funded from human resources development or institutional capacity development programmes sponsored by governments, international cooperation programmes, or directly through international partners such as development banks, bilateral agencies, or UN funds and programmes.
International agencies may be approached directly for funding of grants from non-earmarked or special funds available at their Headquarters or at Regional or Country Offices.
UNESCO Member States may submit a request for funding from the UNESCO Participation Programme through the UNESCO National Commission. The procedure and schedule for the submission of funding requests are available from the UNESCO web site.
