Prof. Shaukat Abdulrazak Ali
Board ChairThere is no doubt that 2015 was a turbulent year. On
behalf of the board of directors, it is my privilege topresent the Annual Report for the year 2015. This report presents a summary update of the STI capacity
building activities and the inancial position of the African
Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS) Secretariat for theperiod 01 January 2015 to 31 December 2015. The report isorganized under the strategic objectives outlined in the ATPS
Annual Work Plan for the period 01 January- 31 December
2015.

Think Tank and Civil Societies Program. The 2014 Global To Go
think tank index was released after analyzing a total of 6,846
Think Tanks across the world and 615 in sub-saharan Africa.
Global Go To Think Tank Index is an annual ranking that identiies the most signiicant global trends of think tanks worldwide.
The ATPS board is pleased to note the remarkable progress in
implementing the ATPS Phase VII Strategic Plan (2013-2018).
Our core mandate areas in this Strategic Plan are STI Researchand Research Capacity Building (STI-RCB), Intra-Africa and Global Collaborations and Partnerships (IGCP), Youth and Gender
Empowerment (YGEP), Training and Sensitization (T&S), STI

processes and systems to strengthen capabilities, social responses and governance of STI-led sustainable developmentin Africa. Through the implementation of these activities wecan be assured to improve the understanding and functioningof STI policy research and policy making processes and systems to strengthen capabilities, social responses and governance of STI- led sustainable development in Africa.
We still continue to champion for STI agendas nationally, regionally and globally. We have partnered with major institutions whom we share with a common goal, early in the year
we entered into a collaboration with the United Nations
Educational Scientiic and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),
Kenya’s National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) and ATPS co-authored a policy brief on
Mainstreaming Gender in the National Science Technology
and Innovation Policy of Kenya. The Global Go Think Tanks andCivil Society Index rated this policy brief as the second bestpolicy report used in inluencing policy in Africa in 2014. The
brief has since been disseminated to all relevant ministries in
Kenya with the aim of inluencing the mainstreaming of gender into the national STI policy of Kenya.

he time is now for African countries to invest in science and technology to generate knowledge so as
to equip themselves with adequate skills and training they need to compete and prosper in a global
knowledge-based economy for better results socially andeconomically. Research and Development (R&D) also plays acritical role in the innovation process, it fosters sustainable development by building greener and more inclusive societies.
Our aim is to build Africa’s capabilities in science, technology
and innovation policy research, policymaking and policy implementation for sustainable development in Africa. Our innovative skills and ability have been groundbreaking leveraging exciting global partnerships with like-minded institutions.
We continue to advance in research excellence; our dedicatedstaf have done an incredible job at expanding our outreachwhile strengthening science, technology and innovation (STI),
programs and services.

Plans are still underway to outsource the services of a local orinternationally acclaimed auditing irm to audit and update
ATPS accounts and records to ensure that all funds received
from partners and donors have been expended judiciously.
This is in line with the administration’s commitment to inancial accountability and responsibility; this also helps us to reassure donors, stakeholders and various partners of our commitment to resolve and ensure efective use of all inances
granted to the ATPS for the implementation of ATPS activities.
We look forward to continuing working together to create an
exciting and enriching research enterprise that draws efective
results towards our esteemed target audience beyond 2015.
Our focus remains to continuously improve our organization,
to measure the results of our eforts with our set targets andimprove on where we have laws. It is with no doubt that withyour continued support, ATPS will accomplish its mandate.
Together, we are putting ATPS in a position to thrive as a leader
and change-maker in the sector during the next three to ive
years and beyond. We thank our Board of Directors for theirleadership, our management team for their energy and creativity, and our staf, volunteers and students for their dedication. I would like to extend my gratitude to all those who supported us throughout the year especially in working towards
our Phase VII Strategic Plan through development grants, linkages, partnerships and other collaborative activities.

In 2013, ATPS launched its Phase VII Strategic Plan (2013-2018).
The plan aims at improving the understanding and functioning of STI policy research, policymaking processes and systems
to strengthen capabilities, social responses and governance of
STI-led sustainable development in Africa. All ATPS thematic
programs focus on facilitating innovation, capacity development at individual, institutional, country and regional levels.

he African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS)
is a trans-disciplinary network of researchers, policymakers, private sector actors, and civil society actorsthat promote the generation, dissemination, use andmastery of Science,Technoogy and Innovation (STI) for African
development, environmental sustainability and global inclusion. Established in 1994, the ATPS has continued to build capacities in science, technology and innovation for sustainable
development in Africa. It has grown from a network of few
members in seven African countries to an international organization. As an international organization, with its headquarters established in Nairobi, Kenya ATPS enjoys the privilegesand diplomatic immunities accorded to similar internationalorganizations in Kenya. The ATPS implements its programs
through members established in 30 countries (27 in Africa and3 Diaspora Chapters in 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 for Africa’s development.
ATPS achieves its mandate through research, capacity building and training, science communication/dissemination andsensitization, participatory multi-stakeholder dialogue,knowledge brokerage, and policy advocacy. In collaboration
with like-minded institutions, ATPS provides a platform for collaborative regional and international research and knowledge
sharing for the identiication and incubation, development,
use and mastery 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 andassisted many African governments to formulate STI policies,
established 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 Oicers of STI related institutions/industries and private
enterprises in10

Africa and beyond. Key beneiciaries 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

and women.

research and policy prioritization, design, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation. This ensures that ATPS policy research outputs are co-produced in dynamic and relective
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 efective valorizationof policy research results and vice versa.

The Quadruple Helix
The institutional structure of the ATPS also enhances cost effective identiication, 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 identiication and implementation of activities also ensures full embedding of the STI activities in local conditions and reducesadministrative costs signiicantly.
Today, the ATPS has over 1,300 members and 2500 stakeholders in over 51 countries in 5 continents with institutional partnerships worldwide .

Unlike many policy institutions, the ATPS membership is composed of all key actors in an innovation system: 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 signiicant 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
