Abstract

“Ethics and Integrity in Research and Innovation in Development” was the theme of the 2020 Science Granting Council’s (SGC) Masterclass. African SGCs need to enhance their activities and roles as part of their responsibilities in supporting ethical conduct of research and innovation. The African science enterprise through SGCs, needs to adapt to growing concerns if it is to remain relevant. SGCs should play a leading role in facilitating development of, or revision of research policies to ensure that ethics and integrity issues are addressed satisfactorily. This policy brief is a response to the growth in research being conducted in African countries.
