Women Deliver Scholarship

Jump to Comments

Women Deliver is a global advocacy organization bringing together voices from around the world to call for action on maternal, sexual and reproductive health. We work globally to generate political commitment and resource investments to reduce maternal mortality and achieve universal access to reproductive health.

This groundbreaking conferences in 2007 and 2010 was the largest of the decade to focus on the health and empowerment of girls and women. In 2010, the conference convened more than 3,400 people from 146 countries in Washington, DC, including 75 parliamentarians and government ministers, five UN agency heads, the UN Secretary-General and more than 100 global media outlets. The third global conference–May 28 to 30, 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia–will be even bigger and better, with more than 5,000 public and private sector participants from around the world. The goal is to mobilize action to improve the health and well-being of girls and women everywhere.

In order to maximize participation from those traditionally under-represented, namely young people and those from the Global South, Women Deliver will be offering full conference support to a select number of participants. This support includes conference registration, round-trip economy class airfare, 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.

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 themselves in a professional manner.

Please note:

  • Your participation will require you to respond to our emails in a timely way. Failure to do so will result in your space being forfeited.
  • We are only able to offer economy-class airfare from your point of origin to Kuala Lumpur and returning from Kuala Lumpur to your point of origin, and hotel accommodations during the length of the conference only. Any modifications or extensions will be at your own expense.
