Science academies in Africa play a significant role in contributing science evidence to support policy  development and implementation across service delivery domains, including education. It is on this basis that the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) in partnership with the Lesotho Academy of Science and Technology (LAST), the South African Young Academy of Science (SAYAS) and the Lesotho Young Academy of Science (LesYAS), will jointly host a webinar in celebration of Africa day on May 24, 2024.
