Awards Won 2015
- SWAGEN won the 2015 award Collaborative Partnership on Forests. Given in recognition of outstanding efforts to improve and sustain forests, the award was established in 2012 by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), which is chaired by FAO.
Its name honours the memory of Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmentalist and the first African woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.
- Each year, The ONE Africa Award celebrates and highlights innovation and progress made by African led civil society organisations.
The 2015 Award was given to SWAGEN to further the fantastic work they do in advocacy, natural resource management to eradicate hunger and extreme poverty among grassroots women in forest-edge communities.
