Abstract

As part of the Monitoring and Evaluation plan for the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), a gender situational analysis of women in tertiary education in Africa was included as part of the baseline study. At the same time, a Gender Audit was commissioned to provide the basis for the development of a network-wide Gender Policy and Strategy. This detailed report provides key findings of the audit. Recommendations include the development and roll out of a network-wide Gender Policy and Strategy Framework, including basic gender training for all staff.
