The objective of the Women’s Water Fund is to support women from developing countries in advancing their career opportunities in the development and management of water resources. The Women’s Water Fund has been created at the initiative of DHI and has initially been funded by the “King Hassan II Great World Water Prize” presented to Professor Torkil Jønch Clausen of DHI at the Fourth World Water Forum in Mexico in 2006.

Target groups are women in (or on their way into) middle management positions and the Fund seeks to provide programme participants with insight and inspiration that can help them advance into more senior management positions. The Fund’s career programme builds upon Danish expertise in water and environmental management, its international applications, as well as in organizational management in the water sector.
