1 Call for a Consultant Category: Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Strategy Type of contract: Individual consultant contract (STISA) - international Duty station: Addis Ababa Contract starting date: 10 September December 2018 Contract Duration: 3 months Amount: up to USD: (maximum) Background The African Union adopted a people centred and long-term Agenda 2063 in January 2015; The Africa We Want to foster inclusive growth and sustainable development at the national, regional and continental levels. In the same year, in September, the UN adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2030, for collective action on economic, social and environmental dimensions in a balanced and integrated manner. Both these agendas recognize the critical role of science, technology and innovation, as universal enablers for achieving the aspirations and goals set therein: poverty and inequalities; diseases; climate change impact; food and nutrition security, digital infrastructures, health; disease prevention and environmental conservation among others that disproportionately affected most countries and require collective action by African governments. Therefore strengthening capacity in science, technology and innovation for sustainable development, and harnessing the outcome discoveries, can only be achieved within a comprehensive framework of science, technology and innovation, where we respond at the national, regional and continental levels, with policies, programmes, institutions and partnerships, which maximize economic opportunities and societal benefits. In this regards, the African Heads of State and Government in June 2014 adopted the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa 2024 (STISA-2024) i as the continental framework for accelerating Africa's transition to an innovation-led, knowledge-based economy within the overall framework of the AU Agenda In the process they also adopted decisions and statutory documents to establish strategic pan African institutions namely African Scientific Research and Innovation Council (ASRIC), the African Observatory for Science, Technology and Innovation (AOSTI) and the Pan-African Intellectual Property Organisation (PAIPO). STISA-2024 outlines the key socio-economic priority areas that Africa has to collectively address through scientific research and development. It is the first of ten-year incremental phasing strategies that responds to the demand for STI across various socio-economic and development sectors by embedding STI into these sectors. These will ensure that STI is an effective multi-functional tool and enabler for achieving the continental development goals, namely, diversification and beneficiation of resources to optimise our socio-economic growth potential, and sustaining and extending the current economic performance. There is an urgent need to change the narrative that Africa, being home to 15% of the world s population and 5% of the world s GDP, accounts for just 1.3% of the globe s investment in research and development (R&D) and holds only 0.1% of the world s patents. Africa needs to make greater investments in science and technology to become more efficient and

2 competitive, says the African Development Bank (AfDB). This will unlock the massive benefits from science, research and innovation for its economy and boost scientific publication and patents registration. Over the years, in collaboration with AUC/HRST, UNESCO assisted AU Member States in formulating their STI policies, strategies and plans as well as in the reform of their science systems, by bringing to light policy options for the governance of science systems in new contexts and supporting participatory policy formulation and/or reviews to improve science management at the national level. This is done by means of the provision of guidelines and methodologies, technical advice and guidance on formulation, implementation and monitoring, together with a review of policies and plans concerning national science, technology and innovation. The support to the implementation of science, technology, innovation strategy for Africa (STISA 20-24) for achieving the broader goals of Agenda 2063 and SGDs and to further accelerate the transition of African countries to innovation-led, knowledge-based economies has been further highlighted as one priority activity within the framework of RCM Cluster 3: Human capital development, health, nutrition, science, technology and innovation starting Objective of the Consultancy This consultancy is a contribution as an activity of the Regional Coordination Mechanism (RCM) Cluster 3: Human capital development, health, nutrition, science, technology and innovation, in support to Agenda There has been gradual implementation progress of STISA 2024 and the main actors are NEPAD planning Agency, the AUC and partner regional institutions UNESCO, UNECA, AfDB, RUFORUM, FARA, and AAS among others. Some countries such South Africa and Nigeria and some RECs have also been mainstreaming STISA-2024 in their STI programmes. It is therefore important to have a common understanding of where we are, who is doing what around the continent within the context of STISA The main aim of the consultancy is to take stock on implementation status of STISA-2024 from 2014 to date, and to propose elements of Work Streams for onwards effective implementation of STISA to respond to Agenda 2063 SDGs and the alligned UNESCO Operational strategy for Priority Africa , on and to ensure a coordinated and result-oriented approach to enable the Commission to track progress. The consultancy will address these issues, involving a through mapping of the work in the continent, mapping the way forward and to have a coordinated knowledge management platform of all stakeholders involved. Furthermore, given that it is almost 4 years since adoption of STISA, it is critical to do a midterm review of the implementation and propose new actions and or improve current programmes for the next phase of five years until 2024, with the common understanding that the overall successes will depend on seamless integration of activities/projects/programmes across national, regional and continental levels. Tasks and responsibilities STISA-2024 articulates the specific strategic actions required to develop STI capabilities and the supporting instruments that are critical for responding to Africa s transformative agenda.
