The Program, initiated in 1989, focuses on enhancing professional development and improving career prospects for young and mid-career professionals from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector in over 49 countries.

A significant emphasis is placed on capacity development within the forestry sector, encouraging participation and support for women foresters. The fellowship aims at significant contributions towards human capacity development in forestry, including improving forest conservation practices, enhancing institutional productivity, and influencing forestry and environmental policy.
