Abstract

The most recent reforms (2018) to the science technology and innovation (STI) system in Ethiopia are the formation of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MInT) and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MoSHE). The limited involvement of the government, private sector and academia in STI has resulted in insufficient funding and poorly qualified human resources. A national technological infrastructure is lacking along with limited access to finances. However, the current MInT mandate is focussed on supporting local innovations and technology development through a product and services engineering directorate, incubation centre development directorate, and a start-up strategy.
