AFRICAN CENTRE for TECHNOLOGY STUDIES

ACTS is noted for being the first African independent think-tank on the application of science and technology to development. The founders of ACTS had the vision of an organization that would steer Africa from the depths of poverty and dependence on the West to ideas-based development, focusing mainly on development and influencing of policies that would help Africa assert itself in the various fora that discussed emerging new technologies and issues to do with Biotechnology, Biosafety, Climate Change and the Environment. At the time of its formation, the global economic and geopolitical systems were becoming increasingly complex and were subject to unpredictable change--particularly as a result of rapid technological change and the beginning of the end to the political cold war.
