Under-representation of women still exists in these fields, even though women have made tremendous participation and progress in careers. Every year, we conduct \u201cMerck Foundation Africa Research Summit\u201d in partnership with African Governments and African Union Scientific, Technical and Research Commission, MARS brings together researchers and policymakers from across Africa to prepare for the road ahead in Africa\u2019s development as an international hub for excellence in scientific innovation and define interventions to empower women and youth through education in general and in STEM in particular.<\/p><p>We have also launched MARS Awards to appreciate and recognize \u2018Best African Women Researchers\u2019 and \u2018Best Young African Researcher\u2019. Our aim is to empower women and young African researchers, advance their research capacity and promote their contribution to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).\u201d<\/p><p>Merck Foundation has announced the call for applications for their prestigious Merck Foundation Africa Research Summit (MARS) Awards 2022. The key focus for this year will be: \u2018The Role of Scientific Research in responding to Cancer and Vaccines Development \u2013 Two emerging challenges in Africa\u2019. Through this contest, Merck Foundation aims to empower young African researchers &amp; women researchers to strengthen the important role research plays towards contributing to public health thus improving healthcare capacity in Africa.<\/p><p>Senator Dr Rasha Kelej further emphasized, \u201cIn partnership with the African First Ladies, we have been building healthcare capacity through providing training to healthcare providers in many medical specialties. More than 1200 medical graduates have benefitted from this program so far. I am very proud that out of these over 552 are female medical graduates. This is close to 50 per cent of the total beneficiaries, which is a great milestone for us.\u201d<\/p><p>Merck Foundation strongly believes that education is one of the most critical areas of women empowerment. Through their \u2018Educating Linda\u2019 program, Merck Foundation has been supporting the education of some of the unprivileged but brilliant girls by providing scholarships and grants that can cover school fees, school uniforms and other essentials including notebooks, pens and mathematical instruments, so they can reach their potential and pursue their dreams.<\/p><p>Merck Foundation has also released many inspiring children\u2019s storybooks and songs on women empowerment supporting girls\u2019 education.<\/p><p>1.
