The Kenyan Chapter of AWARD (Ke-AWARD) was formed in 2016 to strengthen and advance AWARD’s strategy of empowering African Scientists, National Research and Agricultural institutions and Academia to better respond to the needs of agricultural communities at the local level. It aims to use a multipronged approach in addressing food security concerns in order to achieve a wholesome sustainable development. Having gained immense knowledge, skills and attitudes during the AWARD Fellowship, Chapter members are determined to be change makers, achieve development impact, remain relevant and develop future leaders and experts in STEM and agricultural careers. The Chapter’s activities are anchored on the member’s capacity and skills and therefore span across a wide scope of agricultural-oriented activities designed to make the Chapter more inclusive yet at the same time focused on its fundamental mandate of enhancing agricultural research and development that is appropriate, with high prospect of achieving livelihood outcomes. Kenya Chapter of the African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (Ke-AWARD) is an organisation of over 200 AWARD Fellows, mentors and fellow mentees. In line with AWARD agenda, Ke-AWARD’s broad mission is to catalyse networks for advocacy, knowledge sharing, and intra-country collaboration.
