SCHOLARSHIPS AND TRAINING
Specific support for the costs of training and study by individuals, including how they are selected, supported, and assessed
|
General
· This modality covers contestible allocations to fund in individual human resource development
· It is appropriate where the these investments are not integrated into a broader activity and costs covered are limited to the training and education of individuals and associated administration
· Available to individual or agency sponsored applicants depending on the particular facility design
|
Relationships and governance
· High level agreement with partner government on the particular facility
· Regular high level discussion on direction and performance
· Where the programme is managed by NZAID or NZAID contractors there would seem a need for arrangements with partner governments covering these activities.
· Some bilateral programmes have Scholarships Arrangements.
· In-country training programmes should have supporting arrangements particularly if they are NZAID facilitated.
|
Design and accountabilities
· Aim to align available education or training opportunities with national human resource priorities
· Transparent and agreed processes for determining coverage, eligibility, and selection
· Design may consider options for local provision
· Selection generally managed as a shared partner/NZAID process
· Implementation arrangements need to be covered
· Potential to harmonise modality with similar programmes supported by other donors
|
|
· Scholarship and training programmes are often highly valued by partners
· Often have high visibility and a big impact on individuals involved
|
· Benefits can be more private goods than public goods and depend greatly on the ultimate contribution of those trained
