The Asia Leadership Fellow Program (ALFP) seeks to create a close, personal and professional network of public intellectuals in Asia,
deeply rooted and committed to civil society beyond their own cultural, disciplinary and geopolitical backgrounds.
In 1996, the International House of Japan and the Japan Foundation jointly created the ALFP. The Program provides selected leaders in the region with an opportunity to reside for two months at the International House of Japan in Tokyo, and to engage in collaborative and individual research/exchange activities.
Since the initiation of the Program, the ALFP has had five to eight Fellows annually from nearly fifteen Asian countries. Over 50 Fellows
who come from diverse professional backgrounds, including academia, journalism, publishing, law, education, the arts, NGOs (non-governmental organizations), and non-profit activities have been through the program.
