Abstract

The One Planet Women project aims to support women scientists from francophone West Africa working at the intersection of climate change and agriculture through a career development model that combines mentoring, scientific training, and networking opportunities. In the current context of a changing climate and search for innovative solutions for adaptation, mitigation, and resilience, it has become even more critical to increase investments for capacity building including for women scientists in Francophone Africa. With such investments, these scientists can benefit from available research and development opportunities, foster dialogue amongst themselves while also maximizing interaction and collaboration between male and female scientists/professionals from different linguistic and socio-cultural African backgrounds.
