In this context, the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) implements, with funding from the European Union, a new ACP-EU programme which focuses on strengthening R&I capacity in ACP countries. The Programme also builds upon the results of previous ACP-EU initiatives on research, science, technology and innovation.

This OACPS Research and Innovation Programme applies a three-pronged strategic approach:

• An Innovation Fund to foster a conducive R&I environment across the ACP countries;
• A Policy Support Facility to enhance the quality of R&I policies and systems in ACP countries;
• A web portal to facilitate access to R&I knowledge, transfer and cross-fertilisation among ACP countries.
