- career advancement for women in the water sector</b></font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</p><p><font face="Calibri" size="3">The Women’s Water Fund helps women from developing countries advance their career opportunities in the field of water resources development and management. The Women’s Water Fund has been created at the initiative of </font><font face="Calibri" size="3"><b>DHI</b></font><font face="Calibri" size="3"> and was originally funded by the </font><font face="Calibri" size="3"><i>“King Hassan II Great World Water Prize”</i></font><font face="Calibri" size="3"> presented to Professor Torkil Jønch Clausen, DHI, at the Fourth World Water Forum in Mexico in 2006. This year, Danida (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark) is co-sponsoring the Fund.</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</p><p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Women in (or on their way into) middle management positions are encouraged to apply. The Fund seeks to provide programme participants with insight and inspiration that can help them advance into more senior management roles. The Fund’s career programme builds upon Danish expertise in:</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</p><ul style="padding-left:36pt" type="disc">
<li><font face="Calibri" size="3">water and environmental management and its international applications</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</li><li><font face="Calibri" size="3">organisational management in the water sector</font></li></ul>
<font face="Calibri" size="3"><br>
The Fund supports short capacity building visits to Denmark. The visits will include a combination of formal training and “hands-on” interaction with managers in public authorities and in the water industry. The Fund will cover all travel, accommodation and living costs. It is the intention that the Fund will maintain longer duration contact with the participants.</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">The capacity building visits include:</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</p><ul style="padding-left:36pt" type="disc">
<li><font face="Calibri" size="3">short courses in career development and management in the water sector, and in water governance, water resources, and environmental technologies. The courses will also consist of meetings with and visits to Danish organisations in the field of water</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</li><li><font face="Calibri" size="3">a one-week internship with an organisation in one of the above fields</font><font face="sans-serif"> </font>
</li><li><font face="Calibri" size="3">a subsequent mentoring component. A senior Danish manager will serve as a mentor for each candidate. This mentoring will continue for at least a year after the visit to Denmark. Candidates must fully commit themselves to participating in this component of the programme</font></li>
