The UN-Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development (UNW-DPC) is located in Bonn and is hosted along with several others by the United Nations University Vice Rectorate in Europe (UNU-ViE) . In addition, the organisation is part of a larger worldwide network of organisations called UN-Water.

Since UNW-DPC is an office that is linked to both programmes, it would like to change its existing website www.unwater.unu.edu to match the styles, colours, and fonts shown in the UN-Water and UNU-VIE websites linked above. In addition to its normal website, UNW-DPC is creating a repository of information using MYSQL that should have the same look and feel as the other pages which can be viewed at www.unwater.unu.edu/repository/.

The United Nations University, Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) in close cooperation with the GITEWS consortium partners kindly invites applications for PostDoc scholarships for scientists from Indonesia or from other countries in the Indian Ocean Rim.
