Across Ghana and Kenya and across Africa, women in STEM are breaking boundaries. 
But far too often, they hit institutional ceilings, face cultural barriers, and navigate systems that weren’t built with them in mind.

The SISTARS Project exists to change that.

Funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and led by the University of Ghana in partnership with the University of Nairobi, Africa Population and Health Research Centre, and Women in Water and Sanitation, the SISTARS initiative is a bold, research-driven push to reimagine leadership for women in STEM.
