Scientific literacy which helps individuals incorporate relevant scientific concepts and processes in personal decision making is increasingly emphasized in educational curricula as a means of preparing citizenry around the world for the role they must play in sustainable development of their countries. In order to cover the diverse concepts explored in this work, systematic narrative review methodology was adopted. Relevant literature was sourced from Web of Science and ERIC database, and screened following the PRISMA method. The final corpus was 51 manuscripts published between January 2012- Dec 2022. The review proposed was tabulated and categorized into three thematic concepts: science literacy information, gender knowledge domain, and curriculum issues in Africa. We recommend review of curricula emphasizing science-society nexus, development of relevant educational policies and encouragement of citizen collaborative participation with the goal to enhance the quality of life in Africa through research, technology and innovation.
