In 2012 the Landesa Center for Women’s Land
Rights launched its Women’s Land Rights Visiting Professionals Program.
The program’s inaugural year was a huge success, and we are writing now to
invite applications for our second cohort.
Through this
program we seek to cultivate a network of qualified professionals who are
strongly committed to strengthening women’s land rights at local, national, and
international levels. Our goal is to boost these visiting professionals’
capacity to strengthen women’s land rights, to foster their ability and
motivation to support each other and work together, and to reinforce their
commitment to strengthening women’s land rights.
The program
starts with a six-week period of in-house intensive training at our main office
in Seattle, WA, USA, followed by a year of mentoring and sharing expertise
after the visiting professionals return to their countries and implement a
mutually agreed upon project. This year’s cohort will consist of
professionals from India, China,
and East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda), and they will join us in
September 2013.
We invite you to consider this opportunity and would be very
grateful if you could help us by reaching out to qualified candidates,
organizations, and/or networks and forward this information to them.
