Deadline: October 8, 2018

The call for applications for the second round of the AWARD Pan-African Fellowship, which will commence in February 2019, is now open. The AWARD Fellowship is a career-development program that equips top women agricultural scientists across sub-Saharan Africa to accelerate agricultural gains by strengthening their science and leadership skills.

The AWARD Pan-African Fellowship was initiated in 2017 with support from the Agropolis Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) country missions. AWARD is a catalyst for innovations with high potential to contribute to the prosperity and well-being of African smallholder farmers.

African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) is committed to working towards inclusive, agriculture-driven prosperity for the African continent by strengthening the production and dissemination of more gender-responsive agricultural research and innovation. We invest in African scientists, research institutions, and agribusinesses so that they can deliver agricultural innovations that better respond to the needs and priorities of a diversity of women and men across Africa’s agricultural value chains.

Benefits

WARD Fellows benefit from a two-year fellowship focused on fostering mentoring partnerships, building science skills, and developing leadership capacity.

During the two-year fellowship, AWARD Fellows remain in their institutions, continue their research, and travel to AWARD training courses held in various locations across Africa.
