Obstacles for Female Scientists in Africa

Female scientists in Africa are entrepreneurial and resourceful. They 1 (seek) innovative solutions to problems that affect their communities, and many are actively appealing to engage others in their work. But for more women on the continent to achieve in science, they need policies that help to lower the barriers to their success and that enhance international collaborations.

Women in Africa experience greater barriers to developing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than 2 in high-income countries do, with lack of funding a particular problem. Africa’s researchers badly need long-term, stable investment from internal and external funding sources, including venture capital. In the latest poll, 56% of respondents working in science in Africa cited a lack of funding as their 3 (great) career challenge, and it was the top concern for both men and women. If only Africa’s governments and the international donor community 4 do more to help scientists to realize their ambitions: even modest funding increases might go a long way 5 accelerating nation-building.

Work–life balance is the second-most mentioned concern for women. It is clear 6 many of the women have made huge personal sacrifices to obtain their PhDs — those who study overseas and are mothers, for example, often spend months at a time away from their children, 7 (leave) them in the care of others, such as fathers and grandparents.

Moreover, some women have not been promoted as quickly as their male counterparts, even 8 they are publishing at the same rate and bringing in as much research funding and equipment to their institutions as men. The reasons vary, but include 9 (evaluate) according to outdated standard.

In that case, international collaboration needs to be more common in helping African women scientists. 10 the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, such exchanges can happen on virtual platforms. Africa’s female scientists are on the rise — and partnering with them could give sky-high returns.
