2010 UNU-LRT fellows are on their way to Iceland

The fellows of the 2010 UNU-LRT programme are on their way to Iceland.  They will be the first fellows since the LRT programme was recognized as a fully fledged UNU programme in February this year.  The fellows this year come from Ethiopia, Namibia, Niger, Mongolia and Kirgizstan.  They will attend the six month training here in Iceland until October.

Since the start of the programme in 2007 a total of 17 fellows have attended and finished successfully.  The fellows have come from eight countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Namibia, Uganda and Tunisia in Africa, and Mongolia and Uzbekistan in central Asia.
