Innovation & Technology

Africa is increasingly becoming a key player in acquiring, generating and applying knowledge to development challenges. Yet more needs to be done to make innovation play its part in the quest for transformation and diversification of the African economies. Sustained support to help member States put in place a favorable innovation environment to address their pressing needs is required, such as green economy, industrialization, job and wealth creation.
