Reproductive health Program's MH project. S/he will collect comprehensive and
specific information and data about the impact on women and girls associated with
the lack of programs, projects, and provisions, including their successes, failures,
viability, and adaptability, related to MH needs in displaced settings. In addition,
s/he will identify existing and new financial resources to support MH in all emergencies.
OBJECTIVES:
--To determine best practices, in all phases of an emergency,
for responding to the MH needs of displaced women and girls.
--To comprehensively document and determine the efficacy,
appropriateness and sustainability of current and past initiatives by humanitarian
organizations to meet women's MH needs during emergency situations, with specific
attention to their decision-making processes to identify and promote promising
practices, and to draft guidelines that direct humanitarian organizations' current
and future initiatives dealing with women's MH needs based on these practices.
-- To identify
potential sources of funding to support sustainable and effective MH programs
and provisions for women and girls in emergencies.

Output #3: analysis and synthesis (4 weeks)

8) Internships / European Women's Lobby /
date: December 20, 2007.
DESCRIPTION:
The EWL Secretariat has an internship programme supported by all staff members, which involves each
year a number of young interns providing them with a practical insight into the
political work on gender equality at European level and the functioning of the
European Union institutions.
For many years, EWL has offered internship placements
for varying periods of time, which have been productive, inspiring and stimulating
for both the intern and EWL team. In order to continue to offer internships within
the same spirit, we have evaluated our internship programme
and decided that from January 2008, we will offer the following possibilities
for a placement:
1) 1 six-month
paid internship twice a year for which a call for applications will be published
twice yearly.
2) Internships
within the framework of academic requirements and in the case of third level/ongoing
education programmes (for example, the Lenonardo Programme), for which
the intern will not be paid by EWL but will be financially supported by the programme or grant.
