Policy Support Facility
| The Policy Support Facility (PSF) is a crucial component of the OACPS Research and Innovation Programme, dedicated to improving the quality and efficiency of Research and Innovation (R&I) policy systems in its African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) member countries. Effective innovation relies not only on adequate R&I funding and skills but also on establishing the right policy framework. R&I investments yield significantly greater impact when paired with reforms that enhance the quality and efficiency of R&I systems and policies. | PSF Brochure |
The PSF offers national or regional public authorities in OACPS countries, responsible for R&I and Higher Education, access to high-level expertise and practical support to:
- Enhance the design and implementation of evidence-based R&I policies and strategies;
- Build national R&I capacities essential for transitioning to self-sustaining, knowledge-driven economies;
- Encourage collaboration at national and regional levels between R&I institutions, businesses, academia, and civil society organisations to unlock their innovation potential.
