About Mawazo Institute
The Mawazo Institute is a women-led organisation supporting early-career African women researchers to contribute important evidence-based solutions and a critical perspective to pressing development needs. Mawazo believes that (1) African women conducting PhDs are driven, creative, analytical and critical thinkers, and (2) as African women they bring a unique (and often forgotten) perspective and voice to research and development. We believe that they hold the key to driving innovative, holistic, sustainable development on the continent and beyond
