This
competition seeks to promote
excellence and recognize and reward outstanding women
scientists who are undertaking scientific and innovative research, technology and engineering related
development activities and communicating the outputs (knowledge, technologies
and approaches) to improve agricultural performance and socio-economic development in Africa.
The
continent needs to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner
as well as find endogenous solutions to respond to the twin challenges of
climate change and volatile food and energy prices. Increasing investments in
the agricultural sector and more specifically in science, technology and
innovation is seen as a viable option for achieving broad-based agricultural
led economic growth, equity and prosperity.
