Presentation of UNESCO Chairs Network "Women, Science, Technology and Development"

The Chairs participating in this Network pool expertise in science, technology, development, water management and a gender equality objective. They establish among themselves a relationship of cooperation and solidarity.

The Network of UNESCO Chairs “Women, Science, Technology and Development” was launched in July 2006. Its objectives are:

To establish a scientific and technological, research and training programme with a gender equality perspective;
To provide women and teenage girls with scientific and technology-based training in sustainable and participative management of resources (particularly water).

The eight founding Network members are the UNESCO Chairs in Water, Women and Decision-making created recently in Brazil, Cote d’Ivoire and Morocco, and the Chairs in Women, Science and Technology established in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Pakistan and Sudan.
