ArcX News - Africa Regional Centres of eXcellence and AKP Newsletter - Issue 2 - June 2025
This is a public newsletter providing regular updates on the Africa Regional Centers of eXcellence (ArcX) programme and the Africa Knowledge Platform (AKP). At the beginning of the year the ArcX programme was kicked-off. The latter engages the JRC in an Administrative Agreement with INTPA whose objective is to contribute to the Action "Scientific and Technological Support to Regional Centres of Excellence related to Green Transition" (ACT-61214), promoting a sustainable approach to a Green Transition in Sub Saharan Africa. The JRC will support the Action’s objective of strengthening the Africa-EU partnership on STI with a focus on enhancing scientific capacities in terms of human development; knowledge generation and management related to data and information production, collection, access and sharing; and support to practitioners, scientists, and policy makers (in particular the science-policy interface). Regional Centers of Excellence (RCoEs) will be supported to enhance their technical capacity to deliver data, knowledge and thematic expertise; to improve their interconnections and impact/engagement, and to develop and deploy standards to increase coherence and opportunities for working in a multi-disciplinary and inter-organisational manner.
The Africa Knowledge Platform is part of the Transversal Component of the ArcX programme and as such serves as the backbone for knowledge and data sharing as well as the ideal promoter of cross-fertilization between regions and thematics via, e.g., the development of Decision Support Systems.
This newsletter is an essential part of the communication around the ArcX programme. We believe it'll help internal stakeholders, but also external actors, to stay up to date with this complex programmme and its activities.
