The Emerging Markets Development Advisers Program

The Emerging Markets Development Advisers Program is a fellowship sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). EMDAP is managed by the Institute of International Education (IIE), the largest private, nonprofit educational and cultural exchange agency in the United States.

EMDAP is an opportunity for current students and recent graduates of U.S. MBA and MA programs in international management/ finance/development or international affairs/studies to provide management assistance to variou USAID-assisted entities in emerging markets.

EMDAP Advisers contribute to development in emerging market countries by using their knowledge of management practices to identify solutions in diverse situations. This contributes to achieving USAID’s objectives abroad – specifically, broad-based economic development.

The deadline for the current 2012-2013 cycle is May 25, 2012. For additional information, please contact the Emerging Markets Development Advisers Program Team by email or phone at emdap@iie.org or +1-202-326-7823, or go to http://www.iie.org/en/Programs/EMDAP/Application
