Deadline: March 15, 2019

Nominations are open for the 2019 CGIAR MAIZE Youth Innovators Awards – Africa. These awards are part of the efforts that the CGIAR Research Program on Maize (MAIZE) is undertaking to promote youth participation in maize based agri-food systems.

The awards aim to identify young innovators who can serve to inspire other young people to get involved in maize-based agri-food systems. This is also aimed at creating a platform to allow young innovators from around the world to network and share their experiences.

Categories

MAIZE invites young innovators to apply and CGIAR researchers and partners to nominate eligible applicants for any of the following three categories:

  • Researcher: Maize research-for-development (in any discipline)
  • Farmer: Maize farming systems in Africa
  • Change agent: Maize value chains (i.e., extension agents, input and service suppliers, transformation agents).

Benefits

  • The award recipients will be given the opportunity to attend the annual Stress Tolerant Maize for Africa (STMA) project meeting in Lusaka, Zambia, May 7-9 where they will receive their awards and will be given the chance to present their work;
  • The project meeting and award ceremony will also present an opportunity for these young innovators to network with MAIZE researchers and partners, and exchange experiences. Award recipients may also get the opportunity to collaborate with MAIZE and its partner scientists in Africa on implementing or furthering their innovations.

Eligibility

  • Open to young women and men below 35 years of age who are implementing innovations in African maize-based agri-food systems, including research-for-development, seed systems, agribusiness, and sustainable intensification.

Selection Criteria

Nominators/applicants to take into account the following criteria and related questions:

  • Novelty and Innovative Spirit: To which specific novel findings or innovation(s) has this young person contributed to? (in any of the three categories mentioned above)
  • Present/Potential Impact: What is the present/potential benefit or impact of the innovation(s) in maize-based agri-food systems?
