Abstract
Women are scarce in the research environment: with regard to gender distribution in enrollments in higher education, apart from South African institutions, the rest of the continent is characterized by male dominance. Meanwhile the trend in donor support to Africa, is promotion of gender equality as a goal in major international conventions and commitments, which translates into support for governments who meet targets for equity. Women’s Rights and Citizenship Institute aims to build capacity for feminist researchers in Africa, to train for, conceptualize and plan research projects in the field of women's rights, citizenship and governance - in an African-based programme for African researchers.
