Abstract
This study advances recommendations regarding ways for science granting councils, national governments, private and no-profit sectors and development partners to leverage their access to global intellectual resources, and convening power to further strengthen institutions and funding for different stages of the research and innovation value chain. It unpacks the rationale behind funding mechanisms and models so that African governments, Science Granting Councils, the private sector, philanthropy organisations and foundations, can learn in their separate and collective efforts to sustainably fund scientific research, technology and innovation.
