da-2063 that recognizes STI as one of the major drivers
and enablers for achieving development goals in the AU
and its member states. The AU is currently implementing
its ten-year Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for AfricaSTISA-2024, which aims to accelerate Africa’s transition to an innovation led economy and knowledge-based economy. It also gives me great pleasure tonote that this year also marked our Silver Jubilee anniversary of being Africa’s top leading interdisciplinary networkof Policy researchers in the areas of STI. As such, we heldour 2019 Annual Forum, Conference and Silver Jubilee
Celebrations at the end of October 2019 themed “Using
Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) as a means forachieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa” in
Nairobi to further discuss how STI can be deployed more
effectively to achieve development in Africa. Most specifically, we presented and discussed several topical issues
on how STI could be further deployed to more effectively
achieve sustainable development in Africa. We also told

the Africa’s Agenda 2063, the African Development Bank (AfDB) Hi

African countries. The theme of the conference was “Using Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) as a means forachieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in
Africa” ATPS used the opportunity to tell ATPS’s story as the premier STI organization and how far we have fared in our mandate ofusing science, technology and innovation as a means for achieving
