Kenya's National Council for Science and Technology and the British
Council are to work together to expand the Africa Knowledge Transfer
Partnership programme. The aim is to provide opportunities for
businesses to improve their competitiveness and productivity through the
better use of higher education knowledge, technology and expertise.
African Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, or AKTPs,
are UK-sponsored partnerships between higher education institutions and
private sector organisations in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa. The
partnerships are being piloted in six African countries - Kenya, Uganda,
Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Rwanda.
The aim, according the British Council, is to help companies improve their productivity and competitiveness by using the scientific knowledge, technology and skills available in higher education institutions through collaborative projects.
