Regions and countries need to build capacities to create robust STI systems for achieving SDGs and addressing the pressing environmental, health, economic and social challenges of the global crisis, such as the current pandemic. In Africa, governments are increasingly recognizing the need to invest in STI capacities in order to implement the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 and the African Strategy on STI (STISA-2024). The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol STI highlights also the need to strengthen capacities for developing robust STI systems in the region. In this context, SADC, UNESCO and the UNESCO Chair at the Tshwane University of Technology, the UN-IATT and the University of Sussex, developed a virtual STI training framework on STI Policy and Governance Systems for high- level STI officials composed of eight modules. IATT WS6 designed a series of five sessions being the 7th module of this training programme:Session 1: Current approaches to STI Policy making in the context of SDGs (6 December 2021)Session 2: STI policy instruments design (7 December 2021)Session 3: Innovation and entrepreneurship (8 December 2021)Session 4: Implementation of STI policy and policy instruments for SDGs (9 December 2021)          Session 5: Monitoring and Evaluation of STI policies (10 December 2021)Click here to register to the 7th module sessions, organized from 6 to 10 December The training will be held at 3-5 pm Central Africa Time.The training was organized under the STI Training Framework for STI Officials in SADC convened by SADC, UNESCO, UNESCO Chair Tshwane University of Technology, UN Inter-agency Task Team (IATT), and University of Sussex.The five sessions are designed by the UN IATT Workstream on STI for SDGs Capacity Building. Programme of the online training session
