What the fellow says:
"My UNESCO Keizo Obuchi fellowship helped me acquire technical skills for my projects. It was a rewarding process which has strengthened my career with a strong international networking, exposure and skills development. UNESCO gave me the opportunity to establish a large network of international collaborations which may definitely enhance my professional aspirations. My UNESCO Keizo Obuchi fellowship covered my research costs and allowed me to develop personal projects while integrating my research experience in the UN work to support Timor-Leste democratic process . The grant also made it possible for me to carry out my research in Portugal and Timor-Leste."
