Reform of the S&T system of Congo

In 2004, the Congolese authorities requested UNESCO’s assistance in strengthening national capacities in science and technology to revitalize the science system after the lost years of the Congolese civil war.

Through its Division for Science Policy and Sustainable Development, UNESCO is accompanying this effort to reform the country’s science system step by step, with the financial support of the Government of Japan.

The ongoing science policy reform in Congo could be considered a pilot project for other countries in Central Africa.
