The IFP is creating a community of global leaders working for social change, by offering fellowships for advanced study to men and women across the developing world.

By the end of 2008, almost 1,700 IFP alumni had completed their fellowships, and 80% had returned home, or continued to live in their country. Of those who are still abroad, many are pursuing further studies.

Almost all alumni – at home and abroad – continue to be engaged in social justice work.
