Outcome – global citizens: Our hope is that by being exposed to the challenges of this work, Fellows will make an important contribution to society and build respect for human rights. Fellows for Peace fosters responsible global citizenship and builds cultural bridges.
Evaluations: Fellows are expected to produce a written work plan, setting out goals, and a final evaluation setting out outputs and outcomes. These help the Fellow produce their own report for sponsors. They are also critically important in helping AP build on what it has done and ensure sustainable outcomes.
“It was exhilarating, frustrating, inspiring, and tiring. And though it was oftentimes not what I had anticipated my time would look like, it became something even more powerful than I thought was possible."

Measuring Results
AP has two main objectives for the Fellowship program and both are measured carefully. First, AP Fellows are expected to serve as information “catalysts” and help their hosts produce, disseminate and use information. Second, it is hoped that this program will benefit those who are selected in three ways:
- Academic benefit: Students will draw on their experience in the field to enrich and inform their academic studies. This is shown by whether they use their Fellowship for school projects, papers, theses, internships, etc.
- Personal benefit: This is subjective but can be seen in the evaluations which are produced by all Fellows on completion of their Fellowship.
- Professional benefit: Fellowships are intended to help careers. There are several indicators of this. For example, a Fellow may change his or her career as a result of their Fellowship, return to the host at their own expense, or decide to defer school and remain in country. More specific indicators will be developed with universities.
