Putting science, technology and innovation at the heart of Big 4

LAUNCH OF NACOSTI STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022 & NATIONAL RESEARCH PRIORITIES FOR 2018-2022; AND ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFICATION

Prof.  Tom Ogada, Chairman, NACOSTI



National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) chairman Prof Tom Ogada has vowed that the Commission will help trans- form lives through science. This is by achieving the Big 4 Agenda through science, technology and innovation and ultimately, Kenya Vision 2030.

Prof Ogada said this during the launch of the Commission’s latest strategic plan and national research priorities as well  as the unveiling of  the  ISO 9001:2015 certificate awarded by  the  Kenya Bureau of Standards.

“We  want to emphasise on   and support  science, technology and innovation activities that can positively change the lives of  Kenyans,” he stressed.

Prof Ogada said because carrying out research is an expensive undertaking yet resources are scare, NACOSTI has  worked with other stakeholders to identify national research priorities.

“So,   resources  from government and development partners will  only be  invested for the greatest impact; for tangible results in the economy,” he said.

He added: “NACOSTI will monitor and evaluate the research areas being supported by  government and to what extent they have led to tangible results. In Africa, Kenya is among the few  nations doing that:  prioritizing national research areas. We believe in implementing the national research priorities as they will  contribute to achieving the Big 4 Agenda through science, technology and innovation.”

He said that through a consultative process that began in May 2018, NACOSTI and other agencies have identified research areas which should be funded to truly impact the economy. He   added that since NACOSTI’s mission is  to  facilitate quality in research  through  regulation, promotion and provision of  advisory services, it has invested in the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

“This enables NACOSTI to provide leadership in the science, technology and innovation sector,” Prof Ogada explained

He revealed that the Commission’s 2018-2022 strategic plan will address challenges identified during the implementation of the previous plan. 

This document outlines NACOSTI’s strategic focus in the next five years and details how the Commission will support the science, technology and innovation sector to thrive and boost the economy. In the foreword to the strategic plan, the NACOSTI Board Chairman notes that the sector must rise to the occasion.

Says Prof Ogada: “As the Kenyan economy transforms  to a  knowledge-based one, the Science, Technology and Innovation sector has to position itself to effectively play its critical role.”

I was a poor woman with 3 kids and found it difficult to pay my bills and feed my kids. My husband left me and the kids for another woman and ever since then we were living in pain and hunger but just few days ago I came across a testimony of a man who got a blank ATM card from Mr. Alexander so I immediately contacted him for the same type of ATM card and i am very happy to announce to the world that I am living a fulfilled life. This blank ATM card can withdraw up to 10,000 dollars and more daily without you having any account with any bank. I have been able to buy a house and start my own business with this blank ATM card.

  4. PLEASE READ!!! I am Elizabeth. I live in Ohio, USA. I'm 32 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $5,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $20,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machine and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on. I am really glad and happy I met Adriano because I met Five people before him and they could not help me. But I am happy now Adriano sent the card through the DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for a small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com
