[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The African Centre for Technology Studies together with the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex have organised a side event at the upcoming Africa Research and Impact Network annual International conference to discuss the impact of STI indicators for policy making. This side event will be conducted through a panel to explore the following broad areas in STI indicators development and uptake;

• History of developing STI indicators in the African countries, institutions involved, and types of data do collected
• “Culture “of policy making in African countries (panellist draw evidence from their respective countries)
• How is evidence procured for decision making? Has this process (procuring evidence for decision making) impacted the development of science, technology and innovation ecosystems in Africa and individual countries at large? Provide examples.
• Experiences/examples/instances to demonstrate use of R&D and innovation indicators in STI policymaking.
• What are some of the ways that African nations can develop sustainable STI indicator systems?
• What are some of the impact pathways/channels that can support uptake and use of STI indicators collected and developed in a dashboard?
