Creating a Critical Mass of Highly Skilled Science and Technology Professionals in Africa

For African countries, there is no better time than now to accelerate a socio-economic transformation by developing skilled professionals in applied sciences, engineering and technology (ASET) fields – and provide meaningful opportunities for its millions of youth.
