AWARD – investing in Africa’s future by increasing the talent pool of African women in African research and development.

A two-year fellowship for fast-tracking the careers of African women scientists and professionals is at the heart of AWARD.

Fellows chosen from across sub-Saharan Africa receive opportunities to strengthen their leadership and science capacities, and are paired with senior scientists in their fields who serve as their mentors.

AWARD grew from a highly successful pilot fellowship program conducted by G&D in collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation, USAID and the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture.
