The African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) Fellowships
2010 CALL for APPLICATIONS
In mid January, AWARD excitedly announced its first call for the 2010 AWARD Fellowships to fast track the careers of African women scientists in the NARS, higher education research and education institutions, the NGO community and private sector institutions who are in professions that serve agricultural research and development, especially for pro-poor innovation. I am writing this special note to you to ask you to encourage as many women in your institution and network to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
The fellowships are open to African women working in agricultural research and development from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia who have completed a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree in selected disciplines. Applicants must be nationals of the above listed countries and be available in Africa throughout the fellowship period.
We deeply appreciate your support and hope that you will share this announcement as widely as possible to enable as many women scientists as possible on the continent to benefit from this opportunity.
The deadline for all applications is March 22, 2010.
