Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the science with Africa conference: 3 March 2008 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the Science with Africa Conference. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, Underscoring the importance of Science and Technology in the development process to an audience such as this is like preaching to the converted, especially as the evidence abounds in our daily lives. At the regional level, African Heads of State and Government signaled the key role of science and technology in development by devoting their January 2007 African Union Summit to this theme. This ‘Science with Africa Conference' is also about promoting the use of science and technology in the African development process. Its aims and objectives are however different from the norm. This Conference is about exploring how African scientists can increase their collaboration and participation in international science initiatives and research and development projects.
