Stefanie ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Fri, 2 Aug 96 7:59:00 -0500 From: Greg Kelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FWD: WorldWID Fellowship Opportunities WORLDWID FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WorldWID provides a unique opportunity for U.S. citizens who are technical experts to receive intensive training in gender analysis and the field of Women-In-Development (WID) and to apply that training through a 3-10 month field assignment in a central office of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) or a USAID field mission overseas. Fellows are being recruited from a wide range of academic and non-academic institutions including NGOs, U.S. businesses, professional firms (law, engineering, medicine), and universities that have skills related to USAID's strategic concerns with: (1) democracy and governance; (2) economic growth; (3) girls' primary education; (4) environment; (5) health, population and nutrition. Approximately eight (8) fully-funded fellowships will be awarded each year. Both men and women who are U.S. citizens are encouraged to apply; no previous WID training is needed. Since Fellows are required to have a permanent job to return to, the y must demonstrate strong institutional support. Each fellowship includes a stipend of $2500 per month as well as domestic and international travel connected with the grant and some additional support for overseas expenses. The normal period of appointment is twelve (12) months, although shorter term assignments will be considered. Deadlines for application for 1996/1997 are: August 16 and October 1, 1996. Future deadlines (for 1997-1998 and 1998-1999) will be March 1.
