*****PLEASE CIRCULATE AND CROSS-LIST*****

Dear fellow list subscribers,

I am posting this message to announce an exceptional professional development opportunity for those of you who:

**are experts in a wide range of technical areas (engineering, environment, health, legal, financial, managerial, economics, education, etc.), and

**wish to make a lasting and invaluable contribution to the way your organization (public, non-profit, private sector) approaches and executes its mission.

The University of Florida leads a consortium of private and public sector organizations implementing a new USAID-funded program, the Worldwide Women in Development (WWID) Fellows Program. The consortium consists of Datex, Inc., the Center for PVO/University Collaboration in Development, and Bennett College. The overall goal of the program is to more fully integrate gender into international development programs, as well as U.S. institutions with which fellows are associated.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in this excellent opportunity, please pass the attached information along. The deadline is coming up. We look forward to hearing from you.

-- Andrea K. Freeman Program Assistant, WorldWID Datex, Inc. -- -- -- -- -- -- Professional Development Opportunities:

The Worldwide Women in Development (WorldWID) Fellows Program offers mid-career professionals a unique opportunity to expand their established technical expertise by including the field of Gender and Development (GAD)/Women in Development (WID) through high level training in gender analysis and a field placement with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The program seeks individuals with professional experience relevant to one of USAID's strategic concerns in: (1) democracy, governance and human rights, (2) economic growth, (3) human capacity development, (4) health, population and nutrition, and (5) environment and natural resources.

WorldWID Fellowships involve:

(a) 2 months of specialized training and orientation to equip Fellows for their assignment in USAID, followed by (b) a 5-9 month assignment in Washington, D.C. or in a field Mission (Africa, Asia & the Near East, Latin America & the Caribbean, Central & Eastern Europe or the Newly Independent States) during which Fellows will work with USAID on specific WID-related activities.

The Fellowship includes a monthly stipend of $2500, domestic and international travel, as well as some support for overseas living expenses.

Requirements:

* Mid-career professionals, both men and women, with recognized technical expertise and experience in an area relevant to USAID's strategic concerns (domestic and/or international). * Strong personal commitment to integrating WID expertise and gender analysis into their own work, institutions, and professional associations. * Demonstrated institutional support and a position to return to upon completion of the Fellowship. * U.S. citizen.

Special attention is being focused on recruiting Fellows from minority groups, who have been traditionally under-represented in the administration of U.S.-supported foreign assistance programs.

The WorldWID Program is being implemented by a University of Florida-led consortium, representing the public and private sectors. Consortium members are Datex, Inc., the Center for PVO/University Collaboration in Development, and Bennett College

Deadlines for application are March 1, 1997 and March 1, 1998.
