African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) is working toward 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. Four initiatives form the core of AWARD’s work: •The AWARD Fellowship is a two-year career development fellowship investing in science, leadership, and mentoring skills for continent’s leading women agricultural scientists. •Gender Responsive Agricultural Research and Development (GRARD) supports African research institutions to enhance gender responsiveness within their research priorities and processes. •Gender in Agribusiness Investments for Africa (GAIA) supports AgTech innovators whose agribusinesses address the needs and priorities of a diversity of both men and women across the entire agricultural value chain. •AWARD Training builds the capacity of agricultural researchers and leaders and includes courses and workshops focused on building mentoring, leadership, and gender responsiveness skills. AWARD is hosted by World Agroforestry, a member of the CGIAR that is headquartered on United Nations Avenue, Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya.
