[Irtalk] InterAcademy Council - Enhancing the Capacity of African Science Academies

[Hilton Gibson]

*African academies of science can play a central role in providing
independent, objective scientific and technological advice on policy issues
of critical importance to Africa’s development*, targeting both their
governments and other stakeholders. Generously supported by the Gates
Foundation, the African Science Academy Development Initiative (ASADI) has
worked to raise the profile of a select but very diverse group of African
academies as strong, independent institutions, building upon the scientific
merit of their members to form beacons for science and technology as a tool
for development.
