Worldwide Women in Development Fellows Program at the University of FloridaWorldWID 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.
