Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals Roadmaps in Sub-Saharan Africa: Kick-off meeting and capacity building training workshop

  • 07 Feb 2023 to 09 Feb 2023
  • Kigali, Rwanda - Park Inn by Radisson

This meeting will kick off the activities of the project “Science Technology and Innovation (STI) for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Roadmaps in Africa”, launched in 2022 by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Directorate General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) of the European Commission.

The project aims to help design effective STI policies and strategies to support innovation ecosystems towards the SDGs in Africa, to strengthen STI capacities and to build more inclusive, sustainable societies.

During this three-day event, representatives of six pilot countries (The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Rwanda, and Seychelles) will share the state of the art on STI systems, policies and frameworks towards the SDGs. Needs, expectations and next steps will be discussed both in plenaries and bilateral meetings. Dedicated capacity building training and workshops will be provided, also in collaboration with invited partners including UNDESA and AUDA-NEPAD.
