Facilitation of Bridging Courses for Women Pursuing Advanced Degrees. ‌ Family resistance to female travel for international studies continues to be a challenge for many young women in Afghanistan. While scholarships awarded last year through GRAIN’s Graduate Degree Scholarships Program were to India, cohort 2 this year includes opportunities to apply for the Master’s in Agronomy at KU. This bridging course activity comprises 11 women who were shortlisted last year but not selected for the first scholars’ cohort, yet demonstrated a desire to apply again. Separate from GRAIN’s mentees who also applied for scholarships, three of these women submitted applications this year, of which two were assessed as eligible, and will take the entrance exam in July.

Facilitation of Bridging Courses for Women Pursuing Advanced Degrees. During interviews for GRAIN’s Graduate Degree Scholarship Program, fundamental challenges for women became evident. Rather than being academically underqualified, they more commonly had insufficient work experience, poor English ability and lack of self-confidence. A recurring issue was also family resistance to allow female applicants to travel to India, which is the location of universities selected for Cohort 1 scholars. Following awarding the first round of scholarships, 11 women joined the Bridging Courses program. The application portal for Cohort 2 scholarships will open in January, and will enable more women to access an advanced degree because they will have the option to apply to study at Kabul University in the Masters in Agronomy program.

Each course duration is 12 weeks, requiring attendance three days each week for four hour sessions, and conducted in Herat, Balkh, Nangarhar and Kabul, which will conveniently serve the eleven women in the Bridging Courses program. In collaboration with WLD, and through GRAIN’s Gender Unit, outreach was provided to the eleven women in the Bridging Courses program verbally and/or through email, during November and early December. In identifying courses that most appealed them, the Gender Advisor also referenced supplemental information compiled on each individual (noting strengths and weaknesses), during the scholarship interview process last program year. WLD/Jawana applications were distributed for various courses, with GRAIN teams providing coordination for submission during the final week of December. Three women participating in the Bridging courses program decided to apply for WLD/Jawana course, with others citing timing conflicts to their schedules. Applicants will be advised in January if their applications have been approved, with courses commencing in February. By seeking solutions that bridge ...
