The 2025 UNESCO-Equatorial Guinea International Prize for Research in the Life Sciences has launched a new support program for young women scientists in Africa. This year, two outstanding researchers were selected as the fellowship recipients: 🔬Dr. Pearl Abu, Ph.D, whose research contributes to the development of protein and maize varieties that are tolerant to abiotic stresses. 🔬Dr. Tegwinde Rebeca Compaore, whose work advances precision diagnostic strategies specifically adapted to African contexts. These fellowships honour female researchers who stand out for their scientific rigor and relevance to the major challenges facing the African continent. Through the UNESCO-Equatorial Guinea fellowship programme, UNESCO reaffirms its commitment to inclusive, innovative science and the role of women in science.

Great work!
Backing young women scientists who solve real continental challenges is one of the highest-leverage investments a region can make. Dr. Pearl Abu’s work on protein and maize resilience against abiotic stresses speaks directly to Africa’s food security under climate pressure. Dr. Tegwinde Compaore advancing precision diagnostics built for African realities proves an essential shift—science that adapts to context delivers impact at scale. These fellowships are more than recognition—they are catalysts for sustainable communities, healthier populations, and stronger economic independence. This is leadership in inclusive innovation. A program absolutely worth amplifying. #WomenInScience #AfricaInnovation #FoodSecurityResearch #PrecisionDiagnostics #STEMForImpact #InclusiveScience #UNESCOLeadership
