Abstract

This project, part of the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), sought to support the Councils to improve their performance by utilizing innovative platforms for building networks among science system actors in Sub-Saharan Africa. The report summarizes major activities, outputs and impacts over the project period (2017 - 2020). The Annual Regional Meeting (ARM) and Annual Forums (AFs) which bring together Heads of Councils are of strategic importance to participating Councils. They contribute to the implementation of the African Union Commission’s (AUC) Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa 2024, and to key STI policy debates at regional and continental levels.
