Women in scientific leadership in West and Central Africa: Their inspiring stories
Event details
CORAF is actively committed to strengthening the role of women in science, with a particular focus on agriculture. As part of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, CORAF is organizing a webinar on "Women in scientific leadership in West and Central Africa: Their inspiring stories". This event will take place on February 20, 2024, from 3pm to 5pm GMT, on Zoom.
This international day aims to highlight the importance of women and girls in science and technology, while advocating greater participation and leadership. For Dr Mariame MAIGA, CORAF's regional gender and social development advisor, "unlocking the potential of African agriculture requires the empowerment and leadership of women and young people in agricultural research and development systems". This conviction guides CORAF's ongoing commitment to various projects and programs aimed at investing in women and young people.
