Call for submissions: FARA essay competition

Theme: “Engagement for impact in agricultural development. Experiences of the African youth”

Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD) have launched an essay competition targeted at the youth to express their experiences in youth engagement initiatives across the region, especially in the context of agri-preneurship.

The contributions will inform FARA and its constituents better on how to effectively engage with and feature youth and women in agriculture in the context of implementing FARA’s new strategy.

A selection of the authors of the essays of the competition will be contacted by a team of consultants to obtain further details of their documented experiences.

A further selection will have a fully sponsored opportunity to participate in a three-day youth workshop/writeshop at the FARA Secretariat in Accra to share their experiences with FARA, its constituents and other youth participants. The workshop/writeshop will be scheduled in the first quarter of 2019. The dates will duly be announced - ypard.net
