Abstract

Distribution of Gross domestic expenditure on R&D (GERD) by sector of R&D performance, and by type of cost and type of R&D activity for Ethiopia are discussed in this paper. For Science Granting Councils (SGCs) to effectively manage promotion of R&D activities, micro-level indicators are essential for measuring and understanding the status of R&D performance. Micro-data provide detailed information on the characteristics of the smallest unit of enquiry within a system. GERD measures all expenditures on R&D within national borders.
