P2.3- Unleashing the transformative potential of african science advice: Towards an Africa Science Leaders Forum

  • Kigali Convention Center | AD 12 KG 2 Roundabout Kigali, Kigali City Rwanda (map)

This session seeks to engage attending participants on the opportunities and challenges towards a

more transformed, sustainable, and responsive African STI system. In particular, the session intends

to discuss the idea of an African STI Leaders Forum which has emerged from consultations with key

stakeholders in the African STI ecosystem. The forum intends to foster the next level of collaborative

action required to leverage the multitude but fragmented STI advisory platforms and stakeholders

on the African continent. The proposed Forum is not a new institution, but an alliance of committed

partners that will regularly convene and connect African STI system leaders across STI sectors.
