It was there that Dr. Martha Muhwezi, Executive Director of FAWE Africa, took to the stage to moderate an engaging and forward-looking session titled \u201cSTEM, Innovation and Industrial Transformation: Proof in Practice \u2014 Engineering and Science as the Engine of Development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session convened a remarkable constellation of voices from Africa\u2019s higher education, research and innovation ecosystem. Among the distinguished panellists were Esther Eshun, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ISSER; Jalal Charad, President of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P); Professor Christian Happi, Director of the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID) at Redeemer\u2019s University; and Patrick Awuah, Founder and President of Ashesi University. Together, they represented the breadth and depth of the continent\u2019s intellectual and innovative capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/818714497_1640374770811568_8143501105781892665_n-1-768x1024-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/818714497_1640374770811568_8143501105781892665_n-1-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/818714497_1640374770811568_8143501105781892665_n-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/818714497_1640374770811568_8143501105781892665_n-1-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/818714497_1640374770811568_8143501105781892665_n-1.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation explored how African institutions could strengthen scientific and engineering capacity. It examined how emerging technologies such as AI could be leveraged, how research and industry linkages could be deepened, and how young people could be equipped with the skills needed to drive innovation and sustainable development. Each panellist brought a unique perspective, yet a common thread wove through the discussion: the urgent need for Africa to invest in its own human capital and to build systems that nurtured talent from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For FAWE, the stakes were clear. Ensuring that girls and young women were not only participants in these conversations but were positioned at the centre of Africa\u2019s innovation ecosystem remained critical. This was not a matter of tokenism; it was a matter of strategy. Africa\u2019s transformation depended on the full participation of all its talent, regardless of gender or background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A powerful question emerged from the session, one that captured the challenge before the continent: \u201cWhat made my journey possible \u2014 and how do we make it the norm rather than the exception?\u201d The question hung in the air as a provocation and a call to action. It demanded that leaders and institutions move beyond celebrating individual success stories and instead build systems where such success became commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building Africa\u2019s human capital required creating systems where talent, regardless of gender or background, could access opportunities, develop its potential and contribute to the continent\u2019s transformation. It required intentionality, investment and a steadfast commitment to inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FAWE Africa was proud to see these conversations advancing a shared vision for inclusive, innovative and transformative higher education across Africa. The Accra Convening was not merely a moment of dialogue; it was a step toward a future where Africa\u2019s potential was fully realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/820266419_2749613915497154_6482559162372772973_n.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 Higher Education Transformation Convening in Accra, Ghana, became a defining moment for Africa\u2019s academic and innovation landscape.
