| Welcome
to the Population Fellows Program -- the original and largest component
in the Population Fellows family of programs. Launched in 1984, the
Program places early-career U.S. professionals on two-year assignments
with organizations addressing family planning and reproductive health
needs in the developing world. Fellowships are designed to serve three
interrelated purposes. They provide emerging professionals with the
experience necessary to launch their careers. They supply fellows'
host organizations with much-needed technical support. And they help
the U.S. family planning assistance effort retain its most promising
future leaders. |

| Since the Program's inception, more than 200 fellows have worked to make high-quality, voluntary family planning and related reproductive health services more accessible throughout the developing world. They have enriched the capacity of host organizations including USAID, host government ministries, as well as international and local NGOs. And, just as importantly, they have continued on in the field. Some 80% of former fellows now hold leadership positions in organizations such as CARE, the CDC, EngenderHealth, JHU/CCP, John Snow, Inc., PATH, Pathfinder International, the Population Council, PRB, PSI, Save the Children, USAID, UNFPA, and university population and family health departments, among others. |
