Monitoring and evaluation of the 2023 National Science Week

Abstract

South Africa is emerging as one of the most technologically advanced countries within the African continent. The country is actively engaged in profiling its scientific achievements and striving to solidify its standing among the world?s leading nations in science and technology. There is a firm belief that South Africa has the potential to be one of the top 20 scientifically and technologically advanced countries. Realising this ambitious vision requires a concerted effort to foster a scientifically literate society (Department of Science and Innovation [DSI], 2015).
