Abstract

This policy brief is based on research and development (R&D) data submitted by 23 countries for the African Innovation Outlook 3 (AIO3) study, as well as current work on indicators of economic sub-sector innovation performance. R&D and innovation systems need to be better mapped to inform policymakers and decision makers. The African Innovation Outlook 3 (AIO3) results provide a first level of understanding of R&D and innovation performance at the national level. Results also show that more work needs to be done to improve the collection of quality and high coverage data.
