Abstract

The Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI) aims to strengthen Science Granting Councils (SGCs) in 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. SGCs sit in an intermediary space between the state and the research community, defining and executing a significant part of the state’s science policy. The report describes the approach and methodology used in the study; provides a regional review of the political economy of SGCs; gives an overview of the key themes emerging from the five country case studies; and discusses the main findings, issues, challenges and implications for the SGCI.
