Leveraging the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development to promote Science, Technology and Innovation in Africa
In collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), UNESCO is co-organising the 6th African Regional Science, Technology and Innovation Forum (ARSTIF), in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 21 to 22 April 2024. The theme of this edition will be the "Effective delivery of innovative science and technology solutions to reinforce the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063, and eradicate poverty in Africa".
Under the umbrella of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD), UNESCO, as the lead agency, will lead one of the important sessions in the forum on the topic of "Leveraging the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development to promote Science, Technology and Innovation in Africa". This session will be a valuable opportunity to raise the visibility of the IDSSD before its official launch in October 2024 and to emphasize the pivotal role of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) systems in building a culture of sciences and achieving SDGs.
