- career advancement for women in the water sector

The objective The objective of the Women’s Water Fund is to support
women from developing countries in advancing their career
opportunities in the development and management of water resources.
The Women’s Water Fund has been created at the initiative of DHI and
has initially been funded by the “King Hassan II Great World Water
Prize” presented to Professor Torkil Jønch Clausen of DHI at the
Fourth World Water Forum in Mexico in 2006.

Target groups are women in (or on their way into) middle management
positions and the Fund seeks to provide programme participants with
insight and inspiration that can help them advance into more senior
management positions. The Fund’s career programme builds upon Danish
expertise in water and environmental management, its international
applications, as well as in organizational management in the water
sector.

The Fund supports short capacity building visits to Denmark. The
visits will include a combination of formal training and inspirational
“hands-on” interaction with managers in public authorities and in the
water industry. All travel, accommodation and living costs are covered
by the Fund. It is the intention that the Fund will contribute to a
longer duration contact and support to the selected candidates.

The capacity building visits include: i) participation in short
courses on water resources and environmental technologies and
management; ii) inspirational visits to Danish organisations in the
field of water and a one week internship in one of those
organisations; and iii) a subsequent mentoring component that includes
a senior Danish manager as mentor for each candidate. The mentoring
function is intended to be continued for at least one year after the
visit in Denmark in a long distance support relationship.

A Diploma will be issued by the Governing Board of the Fund at the end
of the visit to Denmark.

The present Call comprises:

A two weeks Training and Management Internship

Programme in Denmark, April 30 – May 15, 2011
