We give special thanks to Fellows and Affiliates who have advanced the work of the Academy by being involved in the delivery of these African Academy of Sciences activities:
The AAS Scientific Working Groups The AAS has 18 Scientific Working Groups (SWGs) that are made up of Fellows of the AAS who serve as Chars and members of these groups. The groups advice on global and regional trends within their disciplines/thematic areas, lead discussions and/or advise the AAS on topical issues affecting or that could affect the continent, write policy briefs, assist the AAS to come up with strategies for the application of emerging technologies among other roles.

Evidence Leaders in Africa (ELA) Project
Steering Committee for the ELA Conference
The African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) will convene an Evidence Leaders Africa Conference in July 2020 to provide a platform for sharing lessons in evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) practices across Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) sectors in Africa. This is an activity under the Evidence Leaders in Africa (ELA) project. The project is aimed at expanding leadership for the use of evidence in policy formulation and implementation by African governments. The activities target AAS Fellows, Affiliates and grantees.The role of the Conference Steering Committee is to lead the overall design and planning for the conference.

The AAS Membership Advisory Committees (MAC) Members The AAS Membership Advisory Committees (MACs) are key pillars of the African Academy of Sciences Fellowship
responsible for reviewing candidates who have been nominated as Fellows and Associate Fellows. This is a significant
process in the life of an Academy in order to identify the most outstanding scientists to join the Fellowship. The MACs
serve two main purposes. First, they give recognition to deserving scientists, and this in itself gives those scientists a
competitive edge in their endeavors in their chosen field of activity. Second, MACs enrich the AAS by selecting a wide
pool of Fellows to engage in the tripartite mandate of the Academy.
There are 10 scientific disciplines from which Fellows of the AAS are selected from. All the disciplines have their
individual MAC members.
