The awardees will undertake postgraduate studies at some of Australia’s most prestigious universities in fields that include: community planning; agricultural development; and intellectual property law.
The awardees will also participate in a tailored leadership development program to strengthen their leadership skills, establish networks with emerging leaders in other regional countries, and enhance their understanding of our region’s development challenges. (ANI)
