About

African Woman in Water and Climate is a pan-African initiative established by a collective community of African women designed to empower and position them as active leaders, experts, negotiators, researchers, partners, and agents of change in the water and climate sectors. The initiative aims to realize equitable, inclusive, and sustainable development within the continent and beyond.

AfWWC provides a safe space for African women and allies, offering a cross-disciplinary platform for networking, advocacy, training, coaching, and mentoring. The initiative empowers African women researchers, educators, policy influencers, and managers to share career progression paths, funding tips, job opportunities, and support for individual or collective projects. AfWWC creates an environment for African women to make their voices heard and utilize their wealth of traditional knowledge and skills to tackle local to global water and climate-related challenges.
