ACTS is set to unveil a new strategic plan for the period 2022-2026. This is the seventh strategic plan (2022-2026) which builds on the achievements and lessons learned from the sixth strategic plan (2019-2021).
A mid-term evaluation of the sixth strategic plan was undertaken in late 2020 to determine its success in the realisation of the set objectives, what worked well and what did not, lessons learned and best practice; the impacts and opportunities of Covid-19 pandemic on ACTS as an organisation; and recommendations for the seventh strategic plan (2022-2026). The results of the review influenced the 2022 - 2026 strategic plan.
The plan has prioritised development of a cadre of Africa centred researchers, analysts and policy makers on STI, knowledge and society. STI capacity building, knowledge utilisation, technology transfer, intellectual property, STI roadmaps for SDGs, and evaluation of the impact of STI on the development of African countries.
The Executive Director, Prof. Tom Ogada, opines that the strategic plan distils ACTS’ aspirations and commitments to support African countries and institutions to tap into the potential of STI for sustainable socio-economic development.
