PPD
Fellowships at Cairo Demographic Centre
Cairo, Egypt —
PPD
in collaboration with Cairo Demographic
Center (CDC) has been strengthening
demographic and related family planning
and reproductive health expertise
of the professionals from Member States
through One-year International Fellowships
Diploma Courses every year since 1999
at CDC’s own premises in Cairo,
Egypt. Since early 1999, CDC has been
awarding 5 fellowships to PPD for
the professionals of its Member States
to pursue the studies at CDC. On return
from CDC after successful completion
of their courses, the fellows have
been contributing substantially to
family planning and reproductive health
programs of their respective countries
through their enhanced professional
performances and training more demographers
in their own institutions and agencies.
Last
year, with special request from PPD
Executive Director Mr. Harry Jooseery
to CDC Director Prof. Dr. A M Abdelghany,
CDC increased the fellowships from
5 to 10 to be awarded continually
each year to PPD beginning 2008.
Accordingly,
10 fellows from seven PPD Member States
namely Ms. Fahmida Alam and Dr. Shahin
Akter from Bangladesh, Mr. Hamang
B.L. MANJANG and Mr Wally Hadre Ndow
from Gambia, Dr. L. Lam Khan Piang
from India, Mr. Ladji Binoko Sidibe
from Mali, Mrs. Plernta Ethisan Phanthong
from Thailand, Mr. Albert Franco Odongo
from Uganda and Mr. Ghamdan Mohammed
Mofarreh from Yemen have already been
enrolled at CDC to start their course
of studies at CDC from early January
2008.
