The programs include five components designed to further the professional development of those building careers in international family planning and reproductive health; exploring the emerging field of population-environment; or engaged in essential dialogue on the relationship among population dynamics, environmental degradation, and international security. The five components are described below. Established in 1984, the Population Fellows Program offers professional fellowships to individuals with advanced degrees in population-related areas. Fellows receive two-year assignments with organizations working to improve family planning and reproductive health programming in the developing world. They gain valuable international experience while providing their host organizations with technical assistance in program design, management, and research.
