A.
In 2025, AUNDPPnet proposed a partnership with the Centre for Inclusive Policy (CIP), a U.S.profit
based non
organisation dedicated to advancing disability inclusion through research and evidencebased policy. This
-
collaboration will support outstanding AUNDPPnet alumni who demonstrate strong leadership and a commitment to
-
creating social impact through innovative research.

Through this initiative, selected alumni will receive mentorship and technical guidance from CIP experts to develop
high quality research proposals addressing key issues related to PWD employability and empowerment. The
programme focuses on producing actionable outcomes such as policy papers, copyrights, and human capital
development strategies, contributing directly to community wellbeing and inclusive practices.
-

A key feature of the programme is a oneyear research internship, where alumni will work closely with CIP mentors to
-
implement their projects. This experience offers exposure to international best practices, enhances research and
analytical skills, and expands professional networks within the global disability and policy community.

By combining capacity building, mentorship, and applied research, the fellowship ensures participants gain both
academic and leadership skills to influence meaningful change. Ultimately, the AUNDPPnet Alumni Leadership
-
based
Mentoring Programme is an investmentin human capital, empowering PWD alumni to lead impactful, evidence
-

projects that advance AUNDPPnet’s mission of building an inclusive ASEAN society
