Introduction
This month we highlighted and celebrated International Women’s Day with the uplifting stories of four winners of MSM’s MBA Women Ambassador Scholarships, each of whom chose to challenge gender inequality in their home countries of Peru, Mongolia, Venezuela and Belgium. We also heard Dr. Caren Crowley’s recommendations on re-building a more supportive and effective post-COVID 19 entrepreneurial ecosystem for women’s entrepreneurship.
February was a busy month for our international capacity-building projects in the Sahel region and South Africa. We kicked off the Sahel RESCOM project with a series of regional and national events paving the way for further local collaboration and data collection. In the South African provinces of Free State, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, MSM and its local partner Stellenbosch University launched a Triple Helix Platform to stimulate local policymakers, academics, farmers to work together for the development of water-smart agri-business practices.
