Developing Engineering Leaders through Her (DELT-Her) Initiative 2025 for Nigerians: (Deadline: 31 July, 2025)
Applications for the Developing Engineering Leaders through Her (DELT-Her) Initiative 2025 are now open. Developing Engineering Leaders Through Her (DELT-Her) is an initiative that seeks to create opportunities for women in engineering, by attracting and supporting innovative engineering ideas which would ultimately be mentored and developed into startup companies.
The success stories from the first phase of this initiative would be projected to enthuse school-age girls across the country, with the aim of creating a paradigm shift to favor their choice of engineering as a lifelong career. DELT-Her is inspired by global projects from the Anita Borg Institute, Girl Up! at the UN Foundation, Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia among others.
The central objectives of the initiative are:
- To address the existing gender imbalance in the study and practice of engineering and technology in Nigeria, by sponsoring the innovative ideas of young, female engineers.
- To foster a more inclusive and diverse engineering practice landscape in Nigeria.
- To build a collaborative network of stakeholders including tertiary institutions, business, and industry leaders, who would enable a more supportive environment for women in engineering.
- To inspire the next generation of female engineers in Nigeria by making female engineering success stories more visible to them.
Eligibility
- Open to Nigerian women with engineering ideas who hold at least a bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent.
- The initiative targets young females aged 23 to 45 years who have developed a proposal on innovative ideas in engineering and have set up a team for the implementation of the ideas.
- Each team shall however be constituted of at least 60% female participants, to qualify for funding under this initiative.
