located in 30 countries (27 in Africa and 3 in the Diaspora –USA, UK and Australia). We maintain constant reach with our
Chapters and draw not only the expertise for the implementation of our programs but also use the platform to ensure costeffectiveness and easy implementation of all our programsin Africa. Today, the ATPS has over 1,500 members and 3,000
stakeholders in over 51 countries in 5 continents with institutional partnerships worldwide.
This year marked progressive growth in the implementationof ATPS phase VII Strategic Plan July 2013- June 2018. The Plan
is designed to improve the understanding and functioningof STI policy research, policymaking processes and systems
to strengthen capabilities, social responses and governanceof STI-led sustainable development in Africa. There was anincrease in the global reach and influence of the ATPS as it
strived to represent Africa on STI policy dialogues in the continent and globally. There were institutional partnerships andinternational roundtable discussion forums that are great platforms for sharing knowledge to critically address matters ofscience, technology and innovation as well as African development.

Prof. Shaukat Abdulrazak Ali
Board ChairThe Science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
Without Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)
there is no change, creativity and incentive for improvement. We all live in a society that is dependent
on STI and we cannot ignore the important role it plays in oursociety. African countries need to invest in STI to enable them
design, produce and implement STI initiatives for sustainable
development.

Leadership means facing challenges head-on; I must admitthat the task ahead was daunting. There was change in administrative leadership at the Secretariat; Dr. Nicholas Ozor isthe acting ATPS executive director. The transition period has
not been easy, the new administration has been working hard
to rebuild and strengthen relationships between ATPS and its
stakeholders including the National Chapters, donors, partners, staff and ex-staff, members of ATPS network and the general public that ATPS is meant to serve in the continent and beyond. ATPS continues to uphold its standards as the premier
Science, Technology and Innovation institution despite thechallenge of inadequate funding which is core and pragmatic.

Over the last 20 years, ATPS has participated in well-constructed surveys, engagement processes and delivered the collective wisdom of experts and stakeholders to the general public
on topics ranging from Science, Technology and Innovation(STI) to climate change issues that currently is a global menace. Our overall objective is to develop Africa’s STI capacity(knowledge basis & infrastructure, knowledge circulation &networks, knowledge conditions & policies) today for sustainable African development tomorrow.

We continue to rely on support from our various stakeholders
as we implement our Phase VII Strategic Plan July 2013- June2018 so as to improve the understanding and functioning of
STI policy research and policymaking processes to strengthen
capabilities, social responses, and governance of STI led sustainable development in Africa.

ATPS is the leading trans-disciplinary network of researchers,
policymakers, private sector actors and the civil society that
promote the generation, dissemination, use and mastery of
STI for African development, environmental sustainability andglobal inclusion. ATPS provides a platform for collaborativeand innovative research to support African governments and
STI institutions/stakeholders to build necessary knowledge
conditions and infrastructures, policies and incentives and capabilities for STI knowledge generation, brokerage circulationand socialization to ensure effective valorization and commercialization of scientific and indigenous knowledge into newtechnologies and innovations for sustainable development in
the continent.
The strength of the ATPS Network is in its National Chapters

On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank the donors
who have continued to support ATPS in the implementationof its activities, the Responsible STI Policy Advisory Council,
the Regional Steering Committee, National Chapter Coordinators, Network Members and the secretariat staff for theiroutstanding leadership and commitment to serve the public
despite transition period that poised great challenges.

and its stakeholders, and raise funds which is still a big challenge to implement ATPS activities as contained in the ATPS
Phase VII Strategic Plan 2013-2018. The biggest challenge during the period was in restoring integrity, dignity and visibility of the ATPS which had suffered damage over the previous
years. This affected our capability to raise funds to implement
its programs hence forcing staff to spend a lot time in proposal
development and in other fundraising strategies.
Together, we are putting ATPS in a position to thrive as a leader and change-maker in the sector during the next three tofive years and beyond. Our innovative skills and ability willbe the groundbreaking discoveries which will leverage exciting global partnerships, and help us to attract and retain thebest talent in the World. We are excited about participating inthis next stage of advancing research excellence as this year
marked a decade of service for the organization. We look forward to continuing working together to create an exciting andenriching research enterprise that draws effective results towards our esteemed target audience beyond 2015.

I extend my gratitude to the board who have been very supportive to the new management especially during the earlystages when the new administration commenced work officially by giving strategic directions, guidance and advice inmany critical issues at the ATPS. I also thank the ATPS management team and the staff for expanding our outreach whilestrengthening our science, technology and innovation (STI),
programs and services. Lastly, I extend my gratitude to all
those who have supported us throughout the year especiallyin working toward our Phase VII Strategic Plan through development grants, linkages, partnerships and other collaborative
activities. I am committed to and believe in justice and accountability.

hank you for making 2014 yet another remarkable
year for the African Technology Policy Studies Network. Since the birth of ATPS in 1994 we have continued to make tremendous progress each year
despite the challenges we have faced as an organization. A
little progress everyday adds up to big results. Alongside ourpartners we continue to advocate for more research on STIdevelopment that is guided by excellence, transparency andaccountability for sustainable development in Africa.
Our core mandate this year has been the implementation of
Phase VII Strategic Plan (2013-2018) which aims at improving
the understanding and functioning of STI policy research, policymaking processes and governance of STI-led sustainable
development in Africa. We enhance the understanding andfunctioning of the interface between scientific and policy research, technological development, deployment and transfer,innovation incubation and diffusion in a holistic and systematic way. Phase VII Plan has five thematic strategic priorities
namely; STI Policy Research and Research Capacity Building,Intra-Africa and Global Collaboration and Partnership Program, Youth and Gender Empowerment, Training and Sensitization and lastly, STI Knowledge brokerage, Commercialization and Policy Advocacy.

Sincerely,
Dr. Nicholas Ozor

About ATPS

Science, Technology and Innovation for
African Development

9About ATPSThe African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS)
is a trans-disciplinary network of researchers, policymakers, private sector actors, and civil society actors
promoting the generation, dissemination, use andmastery of STI for African development, environmental sustainability and global inclusion. Established in 1994, the ATPS
has continued to build capacities in science, technology andinnovation for sustainable development in Africa. It has grownfrom a network of few members in seven African countries toan international organization. As an international organization, with its headquarters established in Nairobi Kenya, ATPS
enjoys the privileges and diplomatic immunities accorded tosimilar international organizations in Kenya. The ATPS implements its programs through members and partners in national chapters in the Australia, United states of America andUnited kingdom) with an expansion plan to cover the entire
Africa (Figure 1). The diaspora Chapters are established toprovide platforms for Africans in the diaspora and friends ofAfrica in these countries to proactively participate in STI policy
research and policy making of Africa’s development.
ATPS achieves its mandate through research, capacity building
and training, science communication/dissemination and sensitization, participatory multi-stakeholder dialogue, knowled-

ge brokerage, and policy advocacy. In collaboration with likeminded institutions, ATPS provides platforms for collaborative
regional and international research and knowledge sharing
for the identification and incubation, development, use andmastery of STI for sustainable development in Africa.
ATPS Unique Niche
ATPS is not only unique as a premier institution focusing on
building Africa’s capabilities in science, technology and innovation policy research, policymaking and policy implementation for sustainable development but also in its compositionof members, institutional structures, and implementation activities.
As the premier STI network in Africa, it has successfully mainstreamed STI in African development policy dialogues and assisted many African governments to formulate STI policies, establish ministries of STI, and related Agencies such as National
Commissions and Councils for STI. It has produced amongst
its membership, Prime Ministers, Vice presidents, Ministers, Director Generals, Vice chancellors, and Chief Executive Officersof STI related institutions/industries and private enterprises in10

Africa and beyond. Key beneficiaries of its services include
United Nations Organizations and related programs/commissions for Africa, Africa Union Commission (AUC), the African
Development Bank (AfDB), New partnership for African Development (NEPAD), African Regional Economic Communities (RECs), national governments, universities and colleges of
education and practitioners at the grassroots including youths
and women.

research and policy prioritization, design, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation. This ensures that ATPS policy research outputs are co-produced in dynamic and reflective
participation with all the key actors in the innovation systembridging the gaps between policy research, policymaking andpolicy practice. This enhances the ability of the ATPS to readily access, and/or convene policymakers, private sector actors,
science experts, and the civil society for effective valorizationof policy research results and vice versa.

The Quadruple Helix
The institutional structure of the ATPS also enhances cost effective identification, prioritization and implementation ofpolicy research activities at the regional and national levels
through its network of members in the national chapters andthe regional Secretariat, respectively. The proactive engagement of members in the national chapters in the identificationand implementation of activities also ensure full embeddingof the STI activities in local conditions and reduces administrative costs significantly.
Today, the ATPS has over 1,300 members and 2500 stakeholders in over 51 countries in 5 countries with institutional partnerships worldwide .

Unlike many policy institutions, the ATPS membership is composed of all key actors in an innovation system: the policymakers, science experts, private sector actors and the civil society.
This unique composition provides great opportunities for collaboration and cooperation amongst the quadruple helix in

According to the 2014 Global To Go Think Tank ratings by the
University of Pennsylvania (USA); ATPS emerged as the Best
Think Tank Network, Best Managed Think Tank and Best Think
Tank with the most significant impact on Public Policy in Africa. ATPS Policy Paper titled, “Mainstreaming Gender in the National Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy of Kenya” was ranked 45th globally and 2nd in Sub-Saharan Africa
to be produced by a Think Tank (2013-2014). The policy brief

from and embedded in African realities to inform the contextualization and socialization of STI in the African societies
for effective deployment and diffusion (up scaling) in Africa.
Activities and programs carried out during the period are described briefly below:
1.1 Land Potential Knowledge Systems (LandPKS)
The LandPKS project aims to support long-term sustainable
land productivity through the process of collecting, sharing,and integrating local and scientific knowledge about the potential productivity and resilience of specific types of land for
local, regional, and global application. Under this project implementation, ATPS participated in fieldwork activities in Samburu, Kenya and Kavango, Namibia. Activities implemented
under this project include:1.1.1 Rangeland Health Monitoring (RHM) and LandPKS Scoping
Workshop Namibia.
ATPS research officer Mr. Ernest Acheampong, attended theworkshop which was hosted by the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement from 20th August-3rd September 2014 to guide
future development of LandPKS and its application in Namibia and globally. The workshop offered participants the op-

portunity to broaden options with regards to decisions on interventions and management of lands in Namibia, It also provided insights into the capabilities and limitations of LandPKS
and RHM mobile applications. Through on-field demonstrations participants provided valuable feedbacks and usefulnessof the LandPKS and RHM application in their work. The workshop served as a stepping-stone for more collaborative work
between the LandPKS project and the various government
ministries given the high level interest of government to intensify agricultural production in certain areas of the country.

ATPS Board members meeting.

Staffing
ATPS still encounters challenges in staffing due to the financial constraints it has been facing for some time. Some of thetechnical and administrative staff of the ATPS had left the organization however, the new management has made efforts
to recruit very competent staff to support the existing team in
rebuilding the ATPS and restoring its past glory.

by revisiting past donors who may be willing to partner with
ATPS in implementing various projects. Engagement of theBoard in fundraising activities will also be crucial to sustain
ATPS ability to meet its obligations to stakeholders.

Securing Core Funding
Inadequate funding is still a huge challenge in the implementation of ATPS activities. Relentless efforts have been made tosecure core funding through new partnerships, collaborative
engagements and renewal of inactive partnerships. The ATPS
has submitted several proposals to raise funds for the implementation of thematic activities. Contacts are still being made23

Conclusion

The year 2014 witnessed a steady growth in achievements
made by the ATPS despite the many challenges it has inherited. The board has been very supportive to the new management especially during the early stages when the new administration commenced on work officially by giving strategic
directions, guidance and advice in many critical issues at the
ATPS.
The management remains grateful to other members of theBoard who though have left the ATPS Board continued to give
their advice. These include Prof. Agnes Mwangombe, Prof. Indira Nath, Prof. Brian Heap, and Prof. Banji Oyeyinka. We arethankful to all the ex-staff of the ATPS who came back to us in
their numbers to offer supports most times on pro bono basis
to ensure that we stabilize our footing especially during theearly stages of our administration.

staff a on a Gratis work and re-entry permits. Others include
ability to renew and forge new partnerships with like-mindedorganizations and institutions through signing of MoUs andcollaborations in projects and proposal developments; securIng new project funds for the implementation of ATPS activities; payment of outstanding benefits to ex-staff of the ATPS
and renewing relationships with them; recruiting competentlean staff to join the team of ATPS; increasing the visibility andintegrity of the ATPS before the donors, partners and the general public; development of about 15 new proposals which
ATPS is still waiting for the results.
The major challenge for ATPS is inadequate funding to implement its activities as already provided in the ATPS Phase VII
Strategic Plan (2013-2018).

The achievement made during this transition period havebeen great including restoring the full diplomatic status to the24Science, Technology and Innovation for
