AU Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa 2024 (STISA-2024)
Abstract
The STISA-2024 has been developed during an important
period when the African Union was formulating a
broader and long-term AU Agenda 2063. The STISA-2024
is the first of the ten-year incremental phasing strategies
to respond to the demand for science, technology and
innovation to impact across critical sectors such as
agriculture, energy, environment, health, infrastructure
development, mining, security and water among
others. The strategy is firmly anchored on six distinct
priority areas that contribute to the achievement of
the AU Vision. These priority areas are: Eradication of
Hunger and Achieving Food Security; Prevention and
Control of Diseases; Communication (Physical and
Intellectual Mobility); Protection of our Space; Live
Together- Build the Society; and Wealth Creation.
