Abstract
Where regulatory and institutional framework is weak, and where informal social transactions remain prominent determinants of policy choices, a political settlement approach can be useful in analysing the way specific policy choices emerge. This study uses a political settlement approach to bring the history and political economy of public-private partnerships impacts on technology transfer into sharper contrast. It evaluates the impact of partnerships as described by the National Public-Private Partnership Policy, on technology transfer in Tanzania. Most African countries, including Tanzania and the comparator countries considered in this survey, struggle in both innovation and science and technology output domains.
