Please join AWARD Director Dr. Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg June 12-25, 2017 for a critical online discussion on gender and agricultural productivity that she is facilitating on behalf of both the African Development Bank and AWARD.

This important discussion is intended to support the Gender Focal Points at the African Development Bank in their work to buttress the implementation of the Bank’s Feed Africa Strategy. The conversation is also part of AWARD’s ongoing baseline study on the state of gender in agricultural research on the continent.

Energetic contributions from across the continent are needed to ensure that gender remains central to the Bank’s implementation of its Feed Africa Strategy. Contributions will also inform AWARD’s own way forward as we seek to support African scientists and research institutions better respond to the needs and priorities of the diversity of men and women across agricultural value chains.
