To date, most of the applications received for this regional programme came principally from South Africa. Considering the importance of supporting African scientific research and our commitment to empowering more female scientists from across Sub-Saharan Africa, they decided to separate the initial regional programme into two programmes:

  • A new national programme for South Africa
  • The regional programme for the 48 other countries of the Sub-Saharan region.

Starting from this 10th edition, the L’Oreal-UNESCO Award For Women in Science Sub-Saharan Africa programme will celebrate 20 young female scientists (15 doctorates and 5 post-doctorates) instead of 14 young female scientists the years before, for the quality of their research and encourage them to pursue a brilliant career in science in any Sub-Saharan African country.
