JICA to strengthen Africa’s indigenous knowledge in STI

Africa as a continent is facing several major challenges that most argue, must first and foremost be tackled by the continent itself. To enhance Africa’s capacity to solve her own challenges, the Government of Japan through JICA sought to strengthen the knowledge and skills of Africa especially in Science , Technology and Innovation (STI).

Since inception in 1981, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) has enjoyed immense support from the Government of Japan. The recent project that has benefitted from the collaboration is the African Union-african innovation-JKUAT and PAUSTI Network (AFRICA-ai-JAPAN) Project.
