2nd Science with Africa Conference: welcome remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh
Welcome Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the second Science with Africa Conference. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, The Science with Africa conference was born out of our strongly held belief at ECA that along with improved economic management and governance, the proper use and application of science, technology and innovation was an indispensable ingredient in the African development process. This view was informed by the realization that scientific thinking and discovery must underpin the structural transformation of African economies as evidenced by the experience of other parts of the world, especially the emerging economies of Asia and Latin America. A key issue for this conference is how Africa can stimulate innovation through a combination of policies to support research and development and to stimulate their use by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
