About Young Expert Programmes

Professional coaching, capacity building training and work experience placement encouraging young professionals to start an international career in the water, agrofood and/or energy sectors. Young Expert Programmes, also known as YEP Programmes, aims to build expertise in the water, agrofood and renewable energy fields and create a young, refreshing, and inspiring international network. Whereas Dutch Young Experts are given the opportunity to gain relevant international experience through Dutch organisations operating in developing countries and emerging markets, non-Dutch Young Experts can acquire relevant work experience in an international environment with a Dutch organisation operating in their country. To achieve this, YEP Programmes offers financial support to Dutch organisations employing Young Experts for the realisation of international development aid and trade projects. By building sustainable relations and capacity as a network in the field of water, agrofood and renewable energy, together we contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. YEP Programmes is an initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs carried out by the Netherlands Water Partnership, the Netherlands Food Partnership, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency.
