[Apply] Ban ki-Moon Centre EVWA Changemakers Campaign 2022

Are you an African national between the ages 18 and 30? Are you leading a project that directly works with and empowers women farmers in Africa? If Your answer is YES, EVWA Changemakers Campaign 2022 is calling.
EVWA Changemakers is an annual 30 under 30 campaign, which recognizes and gives a platform to exceptional young Africans, who lead projects that contribute to the empowerment of women farmers.

The Elevating the Voices of Women in Agriculture (EVWA) Campaign aims to raise awareness of the lived realities of women farmers in Africa.
With the EVWA Campaign, the BKMC is on a mission to highlight and galvanize action for the empowerment of women farmers in Africa. Women account for nearly half of the world’s smallholder farmers. In Africa, they produce 70% of the continent’s food. Yet, they are the most vulnerable members of the farming community, facing obstacles accessing land, finances, education, and more, because of gender inequalities and our changing climate.

The EVWA Changemakers Campaign highlights projects led by young African leaders, who are creating impact to empower women farmers in Africa. Join our efforts to advocate for the achievement of SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 5 Gender Equality and SDG 13 Climate
Action. Become an EVWA Changemaker!
