Ansti & Unesco

One of UNESCO's missions is to foster cooperation among African Institutions for the purpose of capacity building in science and technology. As part of fulfilling this mission ANSTI was created in response to the resolutions from the conference on African Ministers of Science and Technology (castafrica), which was held in Dakar, Senegal.
