Women Deliver is a global advocacy organization bringing together voices throughout the world to call for action on sexual, maternal and reproductive health. The organizations work globally to generate political commitment and resource investments to reduce maternal mortality and achieve universal access to reproductive health.
The pioneering conferences in the year 2007 and 2010 were the largest of the decade to emphasize on the health and empowerment of girls and women. The third global conference of the organization will be held between May 28 to 30, 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It will be even bigger and better, with more than 5,000 public and private sector participants from around the world. The main aim of the organization is to gather together action to improve the health and well-being of girls and women everywhere.
Scholarship winners must:
•Attend the conference in its entirety.
•Be able to communicate in English, both orally and in writing. We will have translation available at plenary sessions, but this will not be possible for all breakout sessions.
•Have regular access to email, as that will be our way of communicating with you about deadlines, registration, hotel and travel arrangements.
•Possess an interest in global development issues.
•Conduct them in a professional manner.
To maximize participation from traditionally under-represented, namely young people and those from the Global South, the organization will be offering full conference support to a select number of participants. This support includes round-trip economy class airfare, conference registration, hotel accommodations, and a fixed stipend for visa fees and other incidentals.
Deadline for all scholarships to be received is April 15, 2012 (12pm EST), with no exceptions.
