(Redirected from List of Organizations engaged in STEM Education across Africa)
Grants of up to $20,000 to Washington, DC community-based nonprofit organizations to enhance the quality of life of African-born residents. Funding is intended for programs that focus on education, civic engagement, jobs and economic development, health and wellness, youth engagement, arts and creative economy, and public.
Education in Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields has been identified as a development goal in the global South.[1][2] STEM oriented economies perform strongly on a number of economic indicators.[3] Currently, there is a shortage of trained scientists in Africa.[4][5] Many African countries are investing in STEM research and education, with the African Union encouraging its members to spend 1% of their GDP on STEM.[6]
This is a list of organizations that are currently engaged in STEM Education activities and outreach across Sub-Saharan Africa. The organizations range in size, scope, funding mechanisms, and mission statements.
