Briefing Meeting on Science, Technology and Culture

"Now is the time for Africa to give the most deserved priority to the development of science and technology in our countries and our Continent. This development must be all encompassing through training, post-graduate and post-doctoral training. Now is also the time to use technology and science adapted to our circumstances, situations and environment. In so doing, we need to pool Africa's resources together, make use of our qualified scientists and as far as possible avoid duplication." - Dr. Salim, March 26, 1993
