The Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI) is mandated to initiate and formulate policies on Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, as well as coordinate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of plans, programmes, and performance of the sector for national development. MESTI exists to promote sustainable development by deepening and strengthening market driven Research and Development (R&D) for sound Environmental Governance, Science, Technology and Innovation through intensive awareness creation, collaboration, and partnership. To provide funding for Research and Development, MESTI is participating in the Science Granting Councils Initiative in Sub Saharan Africa (SGCI) which seeks to strengthen the capacities of Science Granting Councils (SGCs) in supporting research and evidence-based policies that will contribute to socio-economic development of the countries. The Initiative is jointly funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), South Africa’s National Research Foundation (NRF), the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (SIDA), the German Research Foundation (DFG), the UK´s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD)The SGCI works through Collaborating Technical Agencies (CTAs), among them being the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS) led consortium. The ACTS-led consortium comprises of the African Centre for Technology Studies, the Association of African Universities, and the Universite Cheick Anta Diop. To contribute to the national research system in Ghana, MESTI is managing a Grant from IDRC/FCDO being disbursed by the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS)-led Consortium under the auspices of the SGCI.
