Co-organized by the International Science Council (ISC) and the Coalition on Science, Technology, and Innovation for Africa’s Development, and supported by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the workshop aimed to equip experts with a stronger understanding of STI for multilateral action.
