Abstract
This article, published on March 30, 2021, discusses how the Mastercard Foundation combats the persistent gender gap in African STEM by intentionally targeting female scholars (72% are women). Interventions include targeted scholarships (70% future university scholarships earmarked for women), gender-sensitive teacher training (Leaders in Teaching), and partnerships (AIMS, FAWE). This promotes early engagement and increases accessibility for young women.
