The Rotary Foundation is now accepting applications for the world-competitive Rotary Peace Fellowship. The fellowship provides academic and practical training to prepare scholars for leadership roles in solving conflicts around the world.
Up to 100 fellows are selected every year in a globally competitive process based on personal, academic, and professional achievements. Fellows earn a master’s-level degree or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict studies at one of seven Rotary Peace Centers at leading universities in Argentina, Australia, England, Japan, Sweden, the United States and Thailand.
Master’s Degree Option
• “Building the leaders of tomorrow”
• 15-24 months of Rotary-funded graduate study toward a master’s degree at one of our five Rotary Centers
• Training in the root causes of conflict, theories of international relations, and effective models of cooperation, conflict resolution, and negotiation including course work and applied field experience
• A growing network of committed alumni employed around the world in diplomacy, government, non-governmental organizations and private corporations.
Professional Certificate Option
• “Strengthening the leaders of today”
• 3 month professional development certificate program
• Designed specifically for candidates already working in the field of peace and conflict studies to further their understanding of conflict resolution
• Theoretical foundational knowledge during 8 weeks in the classroom and practical experience during 2-3 week on site fieldwork
Both programs require, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in a related field; 3 years of relevant work experience and proficiency in a 2nd language for the MA program and 5 years for the professional development certificate and proficiency in English.
The 2012 Academic term deadline is 1 July 2011. Applications are available at: www.rotary.org/rotarycenters. Please pay close attention to the language and academic test requirements for each center.

So you can apply through any Rotary Club at Kabul. The Club can endorse your AF which should be filled by yourself. Please download the AF udpdated from www.rotary.org [search for Rotary Peace Centers] and download the AF in pdf or in word. Read it and look on the discussion on this website. Good Luck.

Let me know if I can help or may be you know a Rotarian there?
Are you now in Uganda? where are you living and working now? and in which field.
Michel P. Jazzar
My dear Michel, I am forced to live in Uganda because of the conflict which is happening in Congo, as refugee, and the reason is because of the thesis I wrote and defended at the University about the conflict in the North Kivu, CRIMES, rapes, in DRC.
that is the reason why am in Kampala, you can help me, to get any way to benefit from this Rotarian program.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you.
Mr Appolinaire ZAGABE

JAZZAR on January 24, 2011 at 10:49am I know a Rotarian in Kampala I will write to him and see if his club is interested in sponsoring a candidate for such a valuable fellowship. If the response is negative, you have to be sponsored by a club in DRC even if you are living in Uganda. You have to work on.
Let me tell you that at least 300 candidates will be on the competition. Up to 50 will be choosen for Master [then they have to look upon the agreement of the University], and up to 50 for the Development Certificate [3 months] in Thailand.
The selection is very very rigourous.
Michel
Okay, it good to ask him, and let me know the next step in case he respond
Good work,
ZAGABE
