Project
Robert D. & Elizabeth Havener Scholarships for African Women
Country: South Sudan
Program Areas: Agriculture, Education, U.S. Programs and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
While great strides have been made to expand opportunities for African women, social and economic factors still leave many disadvantaged. This exclusion of women from leadership positions and participation in the economy prevents the continent from reaching its potential. By providing scholarships, this program advances the high-level involvement of women in agricultural and environmental fields and also funds training for education officials in South Sudan.
Havener-Dowswell Scholarship
The Havener-Doswell Scholarship offers a simple and effective way to increase the number of qualified women agriculture extension agents in Africa.
