During the first week of the program, Fellows will participate in a series of orientation seminars with both CAD staff and top Peruvian professionals and policy makers outside of the office. The orientation is designed to provide a valuable, internal picture of our institution and offer an introduction to the Peruvian policymaking context. "I was given fascinating work with real responsibility but had the freedom to conduct my own research and frame my topics the way I wanted. Perhaps the best thing about the work at CAD is that your work will have an impact in Peru" (Jeffrey Purdie, SRF 05) Research and project assignments will be tailored to Fellows' skill sets, from statistical and best practices analysis to project design, development, and ex-post results measurement. Fellows will have responsibility for producing a final product, from a tool kit, to an evaluation report, new program design, research bulletin, or set of concrete policy recommendations, drawing from their research into contemporary theory, legislation, and a comparative analysis of best practices. “I appreciated how much flexibility we were given for our assignments, both in terms of choosing our research area and in terms of the methods we used for finding sources and compiling a final product. It was really interesting to learn in-depth about how we as Americans structure our freedom of information laws and then to compare that to the Peruvian legal framework” (Nathan Swinton, SRF 05) Research and program implementation areas include, among others: transparency, accountable and access to information; corruption; citizen participation in governance; economic, social and environmental impact of public policies; corporate social responsibility; communications and media for citizen engagement; and monitoring and evaluation of development programming. Law students are invited to contribute through research and program design to our legal work in Peru, in which we address weaknesses in enforcing legal ethics, support the creation of a Pro Bono Clearinghouse, and strengthen the rule of law. Follow these links to learn more about our legal work, including the Professional Responsability and Ethics project, our Pro Bono Initiative, and an upcoming Conference uniting Peruvian and International Lawyers to address issues of Lawyer Professional Responsibility. Recent law graduates who have deferred law firm start dates are also invited to apply to complete Public Interest Fellowships with CAD. Click here for more information about these opportunities.
