The Catholic Relief Services International Development Fellows Program, or IDFP, is designed for individuals dedicated to a career in international development. 

While completing comprehensive training on program management and operations, fellows support CRS’ work in various sectors such as agriculture/livelihoods, health, peacebuilding, emergency response, education, microfinance, or a combination of these. The fellows’ training focuses on project management, project design and proposal development, partnership and capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, budget and resource management, supply chain and logistics, human resources and security protocols.

To be considered for the program, please complete the following 3 steps:

1. Write your cover letter (500 word maximum). The cover letter should include the following:
   a. Why you want to join CRS’ Fellows program, and why you would be a good fit for the program
   b. A relevant experience that demonstrates your understanding of the overseas work environment
2. Update your resume or CV to highlight relevant experience and qualifications.

For 2018, the stipend is $30,000.
