Our Mission
Is to strengthen the capacity and policies of African countries and institutions to harness science, technology and innovation for sustainable development.
Circular Bioeconomy (CBE) and the Kenyan Dairy Sector
VALORISE is a transdisciplinary project that seeks to examine how Circular Bioeconomy (CBE) principles of resource use – i.e., prevention, reuse, recycling, can be leveraged in the growing and modernizing dairy industry in Kenya. The project aims to create a foundation of bioeconomic knowledge on which Kenyan dairy-industry stakeholders can act in applying bio-circular principles to facilitate sustainable growth pathways.
Research Programmes
During this period (2022 - 2026), we will pursue five programmes. These programmes will be delivered through policy research, capacity building, policy engagement and knowledge brokerage as well as through the planned CJ Institute.
Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Security (AFNS)
Climate Resilient Economies (CRE)
STI, Knowledge and Society (STIKS)
Digital Innovation and Knowledge Economy (DIKE)
Gender, Youth and Inclusive Development (GYID)
Latest Publications
We are committed to producing high quality policy and research outputs that inform our programmes and provokes debate on critical issues in African/global development.
Our Donors and Partners
Partnerships are fundamental to ACTS’s work. We partner with a wide range of donor agencies, universities, research organizations, governments and private sector to ensure that breakthroughs in Science Technology and innovation, Agriculture, Energy and Climate Change are adopted and brought to scale throughout the developing world. Without robust and effective partnerships, even the most groundbreaking innovations will fail to reach our stakeholders whose livelihoods our research aims to transform.
