English

Statement by Mr. Joshua Setipa, Managing Director

29 July 2021, Turkey

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is a great pleasure to be on this webinar and reconnect with you. Since the last time we interacted especially with the lead academies, there have been a number of developments in supporting academies of sciences in Africa.

The Launch of Congolese Academy of Science

The UN Technology Bank works to support the establishment and strengthening of Academies of Science capacities in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to play a critical role in advising governments on STI policy development and implementation to address socio-economic challenges and promote development.

In March 2021, the UN Technology Bank and The Network of African Science Academies teamed up to support the launch of the Congolese Academy of Science.
