About African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS)

The African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS) is a multi-disciplinary network of researchers, private sector actors and policy makers promoting innovative science and technology policy making through research, dialogue and advocacy in 23 African countries.

The network provides modest grants to individuals and institutions to carry out research on issues of science and technology policy in sub-Saharan Africa.

The research results are disseminated to policy makers and other end-users through manuscript reports, published books, journal articles, workshops, conferences, policy dialogue and the Internet.

It organizes and implements training activities targeted at policy makers, legislators, mid-level technocrats, researchers, and leaders in the private sector.

The Vision

To become a center of excellence and reference in issues of science and technology policy in sub-Saharan Africa, and a broker between policy researchers and analysts on the one hand, and policy makers, implementers and evaluators on the other.

Mission

To improve the quality of science and technology policy making in sub-Saharan Africa and to strengthen the region's institutional capacity for the management of science and technological development.
