Abstract

The main objective of the project is to contribute to bridging the gender gap in engineering in Ghana and Bénin through original research and policy recommendations. Specifically, the project seeks to provide strong evidence of trends in female participation in engineering education and careers over the past decades, provide insights into the impacts of policies and practices, and identify recommendations for closing the gender gap in engineering and STEM in general. This fact sheet highlights the key findings of the Ghana study.
