COFP Fellowship Program is a one-year Fellowship Program that prepares, equips, inspires & engages religious and community leaders from diverse faith & cultural backgrounds, academicians, media personnel & peace actors with skills in interfaith dialogue, conflict transformation, leadership and mediation.

The program is sub-divided into three modules/sessions which gives Fellows the opportunity to meet quarterly for one week-long in-class in-person training during the one-year program. Before graduation, Fellows will receive seed grant for implementing peace project initiated by each one of them in their community. University Certificates will be issued at the third and last module of the Fellowship Program on “Interreligious Dialogue, Conflict Transformation and Mediation” and this will automatically launch Fellows into COFP Alumni Network of Peacebuilders (CANEP).
