  1. Who is ANSTI? • (ANSTI) - African Network of Scientific and Technological Institutions Established in 6th Jan 1980 by UNESCO and is hosted at the UNESCO Nairobi offices. • UNESCO was urged to help African Universities and Research organizations engaged in training and research in science and technology to establish linkages amongst themselves to enable them pool their human and material resources to contribute more effectively to the application of science and technology to development in Africa. • A regional non-governmental organization (NGO). • UNESCO continues to provide financial and technical assistance to ANSTI.

  2. About ANSTI cont.… • The network aims to develop active collaboration among these institutions so as to promote research and development in Basic and Engineering Sciences. • To-date it has 199 member institutions in 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. 

  3. Mission • The mission of ANSTI is to facilitate the active collaboration among African Scientific Institutions for the purpose of training and research in science, engineering and technology.

  4. Vision • ANSTI emphasizes the pooling of resources available in the region so as to provide quality training and research in various scientific disciplines. • In order to achieve this objective, ANSTI is engaged in numerous activities which can be grouped into four programme areas: Training & Capacity Building; Seminars & Workshops; Publications; and Promotion of Research.

  5. Objectives • The ultimate development objective of ANSTI is to strengthen the region’s capacity for training and research and for establishing services for intensive and purposeful utilization of science, engineering, technology and innovation for development. • The specific objective is to support the process of human resource capacity building in relevant areas of science, engineering and technology.
