Third International Conference of the Third World Science, Technology and Development Forum: Statement by K.Y. Amoako, executive secretary, ECA
Statement by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary, ECA at the Third International Conference of the Third World Science, Technology and Development Forum: 'Capacity Building and Utilization in Science and Technology in Africa'. Mr. Aoako, on his remarks highlighted that, It is that despite the all too tragic travails of this continent, despite problems of learning to live with each other and of learning to live with our challenging environment, there is a fundamental optimism growing on this continent. It is right to group the topics of capacity building and utilization together. Africa has the twin challenges of building more capacity in science and technology from simple applied lessons taught to children right through to post graduate research and it has the challenge of utilizing far better the talent and the technologies it has at its disposal. Focusing more intensively on capacity building of science and technology again brings us to national policies. This is natural since the nation state is such a preponderant actor in so many African countries. The hallmarks of our renewal will be much more emphasis on informatics; on analysis of trends in the economic and social fields, on the nexus of food security, population and environmental sustainability; on promoting regional cooperation; on strengthening development management to promote better public and private sector development, and on fostering science and technology.
