From: Andrea Freeman To: ppn@csf.colorado.edu Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 13:32:05 +0000 Subject: WorldWID Fellows Program: Special Notice Dear PPN subscribers, I would like to supplement an announcement which I posted previously to this e-list regarding the Worldwide Women in Development Fellows Program. News of the Fellowship has been extremely well received, both by applicants and USAID missions (and USAID-funded programs abroad) alike. In fact, many missions have expressed interested in hosting and working with Fellows. Following is a list of some of the more specific requests for Fellows that we have received from USAID field missions. These potential placements IN NO WAY limit the candidacy of those applicants whose areas of interest and specialization lie outside these requests. We do realize that this second announcement arrives with very short notice, as the application deadline is March 1, 1997. However, we just wanted to encourage potential applicants to seriously consider this Fellowship opportunity, particularly if their areas of expertise coincide with the following list of requests and possibilities.
