Read article at Massey Research Online:
Ms Wild’s research explored the long-term impact of development scholarship schemes on women’s lives. She examined the experiences of a group of women from developing nations who have completed tertiary training in New Zealand through a scholarship scheme funded by the New Zealand Agency for International Development. Her research found that the opportunities provided by this scholarship scheme have translated into a number of key benefits for female participants, including new opportunities to represent their organisations at home and abroad; greater participation in international research and policy forums; increased control over negotiations with foreign consultants; and an enhanced commitment to collaboration with other development professionals in the ASEAN region.
