BACKGROUND

The development of and attention to science and technology in Africa took center stage in the 1980s
with African governments making commitments through their Heads of States to allocate at least 1%of their gross domestic products (GDPs) to research and development (R&D) as well as scientific andtechnological capabilities in what is popularly known as the Lagos Plan of Action for the economic
development of Africa 1980-2000. This was against the background that Africa at that time was unable
to point to any significant growth rate or satisfactory index of general well-being for almost two
decades. Faced with this situation, and determined to undertake measures for the basic restructuring of
the economic base of the continent, the African leaders resolved to adopt a far-reaching regional
approach based primarily on collective self-reliance which included putting science and technology inthe service of development by reinforcing the autonomous capacity of our countries in this field.
They noted that the role of science and technology in integrated rural development requires among
other things the generation of financial resources and political will and courage on the part of policy
and decision-makers to induce a profound change with far-reaching effects on the use of science andtechnology as the basis of socio-economic development. A well-developed science and technology
base and its appropriate application will lead to developments in other sectors such as agriculture;transport and communications; industry, including agro-allied industries; health and sanitation; energy;
education and manpower development; housing, urban development and environment among others.
Countries were urged to develop appropriate policies and programmes that will utilize the power ofscience and technology to sustain growth and development. Among the early adopters in thedevelopment of science and technology policies since the Lagos Plan of Action were Ethiopia (1992),
Tanzania (1996), Zambia (1996), Botswana (1998), Nigeria (1998) and Ghana (2000). Other countries
followed later.
One very remarkable outcome of the Plan of Action was the support and strengthening of regional andsub-regional science and technology organizations in Africa with a call to Member States andinternational agencies to provide resources to enable them attain full operational levels. It was during
this period that two distinct networks emerged in Africa: the Eastern and Southern Africa Technology
Policy Studies (EATPS) and the Western Africa Technology Policy Studies (WATPS). These networks
promoted and advocated for the use of science and technology as a means for achieving socioeconomic
development in the regions. They facilitated the development of most of the science and technology
policies in most of the African countries earlier mentioned. However, in 1994, the EATPS and WATPS
came together under one platform that led to the birth of the African Technology Policy Studies
Network (ATPS) with its secretariat in Nairobi, Kenya under the East and Southern Africa Regional
Office of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
The ATPS has since then grown in leaps and bounds. In 2001 ATPS became an autonomousinternational organization with diplomatic status in Kenya and working on transdisciplinary science,technology and innovation (STI) themes for African development. Whilst retaining the STI focus,
ATPS has moved towards a “knowledge for development” network of researchers, policymakers,
private sector and civil society actors that promote the generation, dissemination, use and mastery of2

ATPS@25 Annual Forum and Conference 2019(25 Years of Promoting Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)
Development in
Africa: Our Story and Our Future)science, technology and innovation for Africa’s development, environmental sustainability and global
inclusion. We implement our programs through members in National Chapters established in 30
countries (27 in Africa and 3 Diaspora Chapters in Australia, United States of America and the United
Kingdom) with partnerships across the entire 54 African countries. The ATPS is unique in many ways:
It is not only the premier STI institution in Africa; it is unique in the composition of its membership,
institutional structures and implementation activities. Today ATPS is made up of over 1500 members
spread across 51 countries in 5 continents. As the premier STI institution in Africa, it has successfully
mainstreamed STI in African development policy dialogues and assisted many African countries toformulate STI policies as well as develop strategies for its implementation.
Our work is guided by the needs and aspirations of our stakeholders across Africa which we usually
put together in consultation with these stakeholders as a Strategic Plan over five year periods. During
the current ATPS Phase VIII Strategic Plan (2017-2022), we have identified four thematic and fiveprogrammatic priorities of action. The four thematic priorities are: Agriculture, food and nutrition;
Energy; Climate change and environment; and Health innovations, while the five programmatic
priorities include: STI policy research, policymaking and advocacy; Training, sensitization andcapacity building; Youth and gender empowerment; Knowledge brokerage, management andcommercialization; and Intra-Africa and global collaboration and partnerships. Details of thesehttps://atpsnet.org/wpthemes
andprogrammesareavailable
onlineat:content/uploads/2017/12/ATPS-Phase-VIII-Strategic-Plan-2017-2022_Final.pdf. These strategic
priorities (thematic and programmatic) align very well with most of the development agenda in Africa
including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Africa’s Agenda 2063, the African
Development Bank (AfDB)’s Hi Five Priorities, and the national development agenda and visions inmost of the African countries. We aim to seek for supports and collaborations from different institutions
and organizations charged with the implementation of these development agenda especially in Africa.
The ATPS has benefitted and continues to enjoy the support from many development partners, donors
and governments at various levels in the achievement of our mandate.

ATPS ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR

Since our establishment in 1994 as the premier STI policy research and policymaking network in
Africa, the ATPS has continually impacted on Africa’s STI development in many fronts.
1. Facilitated the development of STI policies of regional and national governments in Africa:
Through series of policy research and advocacy actions, the ATPS has facilitated the developmentof STI policies and strategies in many African countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Benin
Republic, Lesotho, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Liberia, Swaziland, andZimbabwe among many others. The ATPS made inputs to Consolidated Plan of Action (CPA) of
the African Union that metamorphosed into the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy(STISA 2024) for Africa. As an accredited institutional member of the African Union
Commission (AUC) the ATPS provides inputs to the Specialized Technical Committee on
Education, Science and Technology (STC-EST) of the AUC. The ATPS also developed the first3

ATPS@25 Annual Forum and Conference 2019(25 Years of Promoting Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)
Development in
Africa: Our Story and Our Future)

ever African Manifesto for Science, Technology and Innovation 1 that provided a roadmap for
attaining socio-economic development in African through investments in science, technology andinnovation.
2. STI Policy research, capacity building and outreach: The ATPS has supported the conduct ofpolicy research endeavours in over 30 countries in Africa in the areas of agriculture, energy,
climate change and environment, health, intellectual property rights, entrepreneurship, etc. These
research interventions have generated tremendous knowledge products for decision-making in
Africa. The ATPS capacity building program has trained researchers, policymakers, private
sector actors, the civil society, extension agents, farmers, the media and many more and enabled
them to accomplish desired goals and objectives for sustainable development in Africa. We havecommissioned and completed over 150 STI research projects; published over 500 research papers,
policy briefs and reports including some global and regional reports; developed 4 training
manuals on different areas of STI including STI policy manual, entrepreneurship training manualand Intellectual Property training manual; facilitated the development of STI policies in about 17
African countries; trained over 8000 different stakeholders of the ATPS; engaged over 5000
ATPS stakeholders in various events in Africa and beyond; conducted over 75 training
workshops; signed over 30 MOUs; developed new project partnerships with other like-minded
institutions across Africa and beyond; and launched 2 youth and gender programs - The YouthInnovation Challenge (Y I CAN) and Women Innovation Challenge (WE CAN) programs with
24 innovation challenge grants awarded among many others. Through one of our programmes,
the University, Business and Research in Agricultural Innovation (UniBRAIN), we and ourpartners have facilitated the commercialization of over 110 technologies, created over 12,000
jobs and working with over 50,000 farmers, established 350 SMEs, supported over 280 new
businesses across Africa and created linkages with over 20 incubators and mini-incubators across
Africa.
3. Development of practical technologies to help the poor: ATPS in collaboration with the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture, Agriculture and Research Service (USDA-ARS) among otherglobal partners developed an is out-scaling an award winning LandPKS mobile app technologythat enable users instantly access climatic and soil information at any point given location anduse the information generated to make informed decisions on their farm enterprises including
production, processing, marketing and utilization. ATPS has won two awards, Wazo Prize andTekeleza Prize for promoting the adoption and out-scaling of the technology in Kenya andcontinues to receive supports from development partners, donors and governments to out-scale
the technology across Africa.
4. Ranked as the Best Think Tank in Africa: For five consecutive years now, the ATPS has
consistently been ranked by the Global Go To Think Tank Index Report as the best think tank in
Africa (getting the highest number of rankings as well as ranking first in more categories). The
2018 Report released in February 2019 ranks the ATPS as the 1st Top Science and Technology
Policy Think Tank in Africa and 10th globally. The ATPS also ranked tops in many othercategories that were used to assess Think Tanks across the world. Notable among these categories
where the ATPS ranked tops are: Best Think Tank Network; Best Managed Think Tank; Think
Tank with the Most Innovative Policy Ideas/Proposals; Think Tank with the Most Significant

ATPS @ 25: OUR MAIN GOAL

The main goal of the Annual Forum 2019 is to convene critical mass of STI stakeholders from Africa
and beyond to further discuss how STI can be deployed more effectively to achieve most of thedevelopment agenda in Africa including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Africa’s
Agenda 2063, the African Development Bank (AfDB) Hi Five Priorities, and the national development
agenda and visions in African countries. We shall use the opportunity to tell ATPS’s story as thepremier STI organization and how far we have fared in our mandate of using science, technology andinnovation as a means for achieving sustainable development in Africa. Most specifically, we hope toachieve the following during the event:
1. Present and discuss relevant and topical issues on how STI can be further deployed to more
effectively achieve sustainable development in Africa
2. Tell ATPS’s story in championing STI development in Africa for 25 years
3. Relaunch the ATPS Phase VIII Strategic Plan 2017-2022
4. Provide opportunity for networking among STI stakeholders across the continent and beyond.
5. Present papers that address the main theme and subthemes of the conference
6. Celebrate and honour ATPS Legends and Champions

CONFERENCE SUBTHEMES AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Five inter-related priority subthemes have been identified to buttress the main goal of the Annual
Forum, Conference and ATPS Silver Jubilee. Papers are therefore being invited from experts under thesubthemes.
Sub-themes:i.

Science, technology and innovation priorities for Africa’s development- This sub-theme
focuses on how STI is driving Africa’s development Agenda in the context of STISA 2024 andin achieving the SDGs on the continent. As the African Union has developed a long-term
agenda 2063 for the continent, science, technology and innovation is playing a major role. The
strategy aims to address the challenges that hinder development in critical sectors such as
5

ATPS@25 Annual Forum and Conference 2019(25 Years of Promoting Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)
Development in
Africa: Our Story and Our Future)

agriculture, energy, environment, health, infrastructure, mining, security and water using STI.
What does Africa need to do to enhance the use of STI as a means for achieving the sustainable
development goals? Has STI been mainstreamed enough in national development agendas inAfrica in terms of investments, research and policy?
ii.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Africa’s Readiness- The fourth industrial
revolution is the current and developing environment in which disruptive technologies andtrends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR) and artificial
intelligence (AI) are changing the way we live and work. This year’s (2019) World Economic
Forum theme of Globalisation 4.0 addressed the fourth industrial revolution which is taking
place globally at an unpredictable rate. Is Africa ready? How effective is the infrastructure in
Africa to support these disruptive technologies that will enhance the fourth industrial
revolution? Do African countries have enough capacity to exploit these emerging technologies?
What needs to be done to support the use of these disruptive technologies in Africa?

iii.

Improving Africa’s Intra-Africa Trade using science, technology and innovation- There
are many reasons for the low intra-African trade including: weakness of physical and humaninfrastructure, small size of individual African country markets, residual tariffs and onerous
non-tariff measures (NTM) on processed and semi-processed African products by bothdeveloped and emerging markets, export constraints and other pre-border barriers, absence oftrade finance, institutional constraints on enterprise growth and inability to achieve scale,currency risk, corruption and rent-seeking clientelism, and civil disruption among many others.
The abundance of interest, capital, opportunities, and promises in technology such as artificial
intelligence (AI) reminds one of mobile technology just 10 years ago. Mobile money transfer
technology took the continent by storm but this has not really translated to significant increases
in intra-Africa trade due to the different levels of adoption of the technology in Africa as well
as challenges in the development of the required infrastructure. Will technology/automation
and AI do to African nations over the next decade what mobile technology did to them in thelast one, fueling a dramatic rise in connectivity and unlocking significant gains in economic
development? Like mobile technology and communication capabilities, willtechnology/automation and AI permit African nations to dramatically increase their research,development, and production capabilities? Will technology/automation and AI give African
nations even more power to leapfrog the need for old-fashioned infrastructure and outdated
strategies of industrialization? In essence, how can intra-Africa trade be realized using STI?

iv.

Funding science, technology and innovation priorities for Africa’s development- African
leaders have always committed to increasing funding for national, regional and continental
programmes for science and technology and support the establishment of national and regional
centres of excellence in science and technology. So far only a handful of the countries have
implemented that. Funding for research in Africa is still very low hence very low emergence of
new technologies and innovations. This has severely limited growth and development in Africa.
How can African governments increase funding to STI? Has the private sector sufficiently
contributed to funding research in Africa? Are the African universities and researchorganizations contributing enough in funding research in Africa? How can development
partners significantly contribute to STI development in Africa?

v.

5.0

Gender and inclusivity in science, technology and innovation- The persistent genderinequalities and exclusivity in Africa can be explained by lack of relevant policies, inadequate
and improper curriculum content and strategies, poor didactic materials and negative culture
and attitudes which discourage women from training and/or working as scientists, technologists
or engineers and the youth from assuming high positions of authority in the polity. This theme
focusses on identifying successful international best practices that should be learned, adapted
and wisely implemented in Africa to encourage inclusivity and gender mainstreaming in STI.
The gender mainstreaming of science and technology policy formulation and review processes
have not been sufficient enough to reflect the level of gender awareness that has been created
and attitude changes made. What actions need to be taken to ensure there is gender andinclusivity in STI? What data are required to inform decision making on gender inclusivity in
STI?
EXPECTED OUTPUTSi) Published annual forum and conference proceedings;ii) A communiqué summarising key recommendations for African policymakers anddevelopment partners.
iii) Two Policy Briefs

6.0

EXPECTED OUTCOMESi) Increased and renewed recognition and deployment of STI as a means for achieving
sustainable development in Africa by policymakers, science experts, private sector actors
and civil society actors; andii) Strengthened networks amongst STI actors in Africa.
