Résumé

This paper deals with gender gap in Mathematics across Africa. Reducing the gender gap in
Mathematics in Africa, is the major aim of African Women in Mathematics Association (AWMA) through
various activities. Using macrodata from two international surveys and microdata from two African univer-
sities (Joseph Ki-Zerbo of Burkina Faso and Monastir in Tunisia), differences in favor to men in the participation
of female teachers and teacher-researchers in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Sciences are
highlighted. Some practices, considered by AWMA, aiming to reduce the Gender Gap are also evoked
