AWARD Fellowships: tackling complex challenges with bold innovations
Helping poor farmers in sub-Saharan Africa overcome food crises and improve livelihoods is a complex challenge. It requires bold, innovative action. An essential step is strengthening the voice of Africa’s knowledgeable women, both on the farm and in the laboratories.
Acting on this conviction, in 2007 the CGIAR Gender & Diversity Program launched African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD). AWARD offers two-year fellowships to fast track the careers of African women delivering pro-poor research and development. The program is generously funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID.
AWARD invites fellowship applicants from the following 16 disciplines and seeks mentors from these areas as well.
Agricultural economics
Agronomy
Animal and livestock sciences
Aquatic resources and fisheries
Biodiversity conservation
Crop sciences
Ecology
Entomology
Extension education
Food sciences and nutrition
Forestry and agroforestry
Horticulture
Molecular biology (plant/animal breeding)
Natural resources management
Soil sciences
Water and irrigation management
Target Countries
AWARD is currently available to female African agricultural scientists from:
Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda, Mozambique and Zambia
