The major goal of the fellowship program is develop human resources and enhance professional expertise in member countries in tropical forestry, tropical timber industries and related disciplines, with a view to promoting sustainable management of tropical forests, efficient utilization and processing of tropical timber, and better economic information on the international trade in tropical timber.
ITTO Fellowship Program encourages capacity development of women foresters. The impact of fellowship is measured with the contribution fellows make in promotion of sustainable forest management in their home countries after the receipt of the fellowship. Improvement in productivity and performance of the fellow’s home institution by developing new programs or innovative ways of working is another parameter.
