Young Asian Professionals Programme (YAPP)

CDIA’s Young Asian Professionals (YAP) – Implementation Proposal

CDIA is actively seeking candidates to participate in the CDIA Young Asian Professionals development program.

Objectives

In pursuing its long-term aims, the Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA) is seeking to help enhance capacity among Asia’s young urban practitioners and active national/ regional organizations directly supporting local government authorities by establishing a Young Asian Professionals Programme under its umbrella of operations. CDIA recognizes the importance of contributing its efforts to help build a pool of qualified urban practitioners by training and mentoring talented young Asian professionals from selected organizations who have a demonstrated commitment to contribute to city development within the Asian region. Inductees are expected to be national staff, recommended by partner organizations, who have already gained some professional experience and demonstrated their commitment to supporting city governments in their development efforts.

The program will offer unique opportunities for inductees to work as part of CDIA at the regional level, enabling them to broaden their project management and specific technical skills within the urban development field. Such a program therefore endeavors to build capacities of individuals and organizations within Asia to take an increasingly greater role in the direction setting and operation of CDIA’s work.
