Senegal
The Senegal National Chapter of OWSD was established in April 2020 and is hosted at the Institut Supérieur de Mathémathiques Appliquées (ISMAT) in Dakar. In synergy with the the strategy of the Government of Senegal established in 2013 for the promotion of women and girls in science, and with the efforts of local organizations such as AFSTech, the National Chapter is working towards building a sustainable national scientific environment to promote women, young people, and especially girls in STEM. Among its activities are developing a strong communication network for better visibility of OWSD at the national level, facilitating access to scholarship and research funding opportunities for more Senegalese women, establishing mentoring programs for female students at all universities in Senegal, and visiting schools to promote STEM awareness.
