Subject: WorldWID Fellowships

Worldwide Women in Development Fellows Program at the University of
Florida

WorldWID is a one-year international development fellowship for mid-career
professionals with technical skills that can be applied to U.S. foreign
assistance programs, and who are interested in increasing their knowledge
and capacity to incorporate Gender-and-Development (GAD)  issues in their
applied work.  The program is for U.S. citizens. 

WorldWID is especially interested in skills that relate to USAID's
strategic concerns: economic growth; democracy and governance, including
human rights; environment; girls' education; and population, health, and
nutrition. 

The WorldWID fellowship year consists of a period of training and
orientation followed by placement in a USAID field mission.  The program
matches applicants' skills with requests from different missions and
USAID-funded programs. 

Timing of WorldWID Fellowships: The 1998-1999 WorldWID Fellows will begin
participation in the program in January or June of 1998.  Tentative dates
of the Training and Orientation Program are January 26 through February
14, 1998 (January Group), and June 11 through July 25, 1998 (June Group). 
Fellows are expected to depart for their field assignments approximately
two weeks after the closure of the Training and Orientation Programs.  The
maximum participation for the entire fellowship is one year; the minimum
is seven months. For an additional E-mail description of this program,
