We are here to amplify the voices of African Women Experts.
Our Strategic Plan
The Mawazo Institute’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan is the result of over 18 months of brainstorming, discussions and decision-making. A key strategic assumption behind the new strategic plan is Mawazo’s belief that African women conducting PhDs are driven, creative, analytical and critical thinkers who bring a unique perspective to research and development, and that thinkers with these strengths are key to driving innovative, holistic, sustainable development on the continent and beyond.
By 2026, Mawazo aims to:
Grow our network of Mawazo Fellows to 130 African women researchers representing 15 African nationalities
Award at least US $500,000 in research and professional development grants
Grow our network of official partners to 10 organisations representing industry, public policy, research and higher education, development sector, science communication and media
Raise at least US $5 million to support our programmes and operations
