DPU announce sixth wave of the DPU/ACHR/CAN Fellowship open for applications

As part of a long-standing partnership between the Asian Coalition of Housing Rights (ACHR), the Community Architects Network (CAN) and The Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU), the Junior Professional/DPU Alumni programme aims to offer experience and on-the-job-training for junior development practitioners throughout Southeast Asia. The present call for Junior Professional internships represents the sixth wave in this partnership. 

The primary purpose of this initiative is to support the development and use of methodologies and tools in community-driven processes for urban transformation. The Junior Professionals will work with CAN members, community organizations and members of ACHR in different spheres of city-wide upgrading strategies that involve mapping, planning, design, management, communication and so on.

Four candidates will be selected to work with partner organisations for 6 months, starting from beginning of January 2020.  

Two candidates will work with Arkomjogja and Kampung communities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to explore the complex realities of tenure security in the Javanese city. The candidates will work on data gathering and analysis and support community mobilization around land and housing policy.

The other two candidates will work with the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR) in two locations shortly to be confirmed.

The partnership is envisaged as a collective learning process with the aim of encouraging knowledge-sharing and innovation in development, grounded in the partners’ collaborative interventions and local experience. One output of the collaboration is a series of mechanisms for feedback and public learning, including the documentation of the experience.
