The African Research Academies for Women

The African Research Academies for Women ARA-W seeks, for the first time, to enable African university women pursuing the sciences, to be introduced to the world of research.

Africa’s capacity to compete on the global scene depends on her ability to adopt innovative technologies as well as high research output in the form of drugs development, etc. This will require practical solutions that will leverage the playing field for the future generation of scientists, both men and women. In line with this, Students for A Healthy Africa (SAHA) conducted a 2-month survey and c

oncluded that the root reason behind the lack of women in science was simply because a huge proportion (about 90%) of them never had the opportunity to engage with research during their college years. In response, we have developed the African Research Academy for Women (ARA-W), a premier research program that will enable at least 5 exceptional African university undergraduate women in the sciences to spend 2 months of the long-term summer vacation at University of Ghana's Noguchi Medical Research Institute (NMRI).

STEM fields have historically been male-dominated, with women facing systemic barriers to entering and advancing in these professions.

These challenges are changing, and the number of women pursuing and contributing to STEM is gradually growing thanks to organisations like the African Research Academies for Women.

Featuring our girls at the 2025 Undergraduate Research Fellowship.

Africa's future depends on the strength of its STEM workforce.

Yet many African countries continue to lag behind in STEM education and technical skills development, limiting innovation and economic growth.

At African Research Academies for Women, we're empowering young women with the skills, mentorship, and research experience needed to shape Africa's future.
