The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) announces a call for the second round of research proposals from research institutions for its Strengthening Gender Research to Improve Girls’ and) Women’s Education in Africa Initiative.The initiative, which is supported by the Norwegian Development Corporation (NORAD), promotes girls and women’s education through the integration of gender into education policy and practice in sub-Saharan Africa. Grants are awarded to provide support to institutions and research centres working in the areas of gender, education, or policy advocacy.
FAWE believesit is imperative to invest in research in Africa as way producing relevant, up
to date information to buttress advocacy in education policy. Thus, this three year research
initiative aims to work collaboratively with established research institutions to produce
pertinent and robust research that can be used to constructively engage government, policy
makers and other regional bodies on strategies to advance girls’ education in Africa. Findings from the research will be used to inform FAWE’s advocacy work and help redress gender inequities that hamper girls’ and women’s fulfilment of their right to education and
meaningful participation in Africa’s social and economic advancement.
