Country Choice May Affect Selection
by IIE

Among the factors affecting selection, one is the ratio between the number of awards offered in a given country and the number of applications received.  The competition for some countries is especially keen, and many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.  Therefore, if your project can be accomplished in a less competitive country, your chances for success in the competition will be enhanced by applying in the less stringent country competition.  Below is a list of some countries that are less competitive than others.  You could also consult the Selection Statistics (2004-2005) (.pdf) for comparative country statistics. 
 
Africa & Sub-Saharan Burkina Faso, Lesotho, Namibia, Niger, Swaziland
 
Near East, North Africa, & South Asia Bangladesh, Kuwait, Tunisia, Yemen
 
East Asia & Pacific Area  
Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore
Europe & Eurasia Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Macedonia, Moldova, Portugal, Slovenia
