Abstract
Africa is embracing science, technology and innovation as platforms for development. A major step in the right direction was made when the African Union recently adopted a new 10-year Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Strategy for Africa (STISA-2024). But responses to the strategy have been insufficient, uncoordinated and may not be providing the ideal level of constructive engagements deserving of such a policy document with continental implications. Gillian Marcelle, Chux Daniels and Darryn Whisgary assess the STISA-24 and suggest there is great need for a platform of sustained research and exploration on these issues.-
