ABOUT ATPS

The ATPS is a multi-disciplinary network of researchers, practitioners and policy makers that promotes science, technology and innovation (STI) policy research, dialogue and practice, for African Development. With a regional secretariat in Nairobi, it operates through national chapters in 23 countries with an expansion plan in place to cover the entire sub-Saharan Africa.

What We Do

ATPS organizes and implements STI capacity building programs at regional and national levels. All programs address STI capacity building priorities of African countries identified by network members and stakeholders. ATPS activities are organized in four interrelated functional domains: STI knowledge generation; STI knowledge brokerage; STI knowledge dissemination; STI outreach & policy advocacy; and STI knowledge valorization. These functions are performed through three cross-cutting thematic research capacity building programs and three cross-cutting non-thematic facilitative programs. The thematic and facilitative programs are intertwined and together they form the six medium term strategic priorities of the ATPS.

The Secretariat

The Regional Secretariat based in Nairobi, Kenya coordinates the region-wide programs, while national chapters are responsible for identification, prioritization and implementation of country specific initiatives in liaison with stakeholders at the grassroots. All ATPS thematic research programs are coordinated by international experts in the subject area (Resource Persons) who provide independent expert supervision and peer review of the program activities. Depending on the nature of activity, peer review and stakeholder workshops are organized at regular intervals at both regional and national levels. In addition, the ATPS responsible STI Advisory Committee provides independent advice on the quality of STI outputs and policy outcomes of the network activities. The general membership of the network meets annually to review activities of the Network and prioritize programs for the year based on felt needs of the country chapters. The ATPS Board meets twice each year to monitor progress towards stated strategic program objectives and approve program plans and budgets for the period in view.

Daily activities of the Network are guided by a set of policy manuals designed to ensure effective implementation of activities in line with international network management policies Learn more
