[Sophia Huyer]

FINAL REMINDER
African Women in Agricultural Research and Development Fellowships
2010 Call for Applications
African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD), a  
project of the CGIAR Gender & Diversity Program, announces the final  
call for applications for its 2010 fellowships.

AWARD offers tailored, two-year fellowships designed to fast-track the  
careers of African women scientists and professionals delivering pro- 
poor agricultural research and development that benefits rural  
communities, especially women. Our goal is to help them increase their  
contributions in the fight against hunger and poverty in sub-Saharan  
Africa. Sixty fellowships will be offered during this third round of  
the program.

The AWARD Fellowships include a series of career development resources  
designed to
strengthen science/professional  skills;
augment leadership abilities;
enhance visibility and networking; and
increase opportunities to share newly acquired skills, inspiring the  
next generation of African women agricultural researchers and  
professionals.

Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia;

disciplines (See attachment);
·         be working in or studying agricultural research and
