dc.description.abstractGovernment funds are currently directed towards supporting priority sectors: health, food security, housing and manufacturing, with insufficient grants for research. Science, technology and innovation (STI) funding is provided in a patchy manner such that everyone competes for available resources. The absence of strong linkages between learning institutions, research institutions and the industry/private sector has been a recurrent problem in Kenya. This country study finds that private sector funding remains low; a new model for STI funding is called for. Specifically, there is a need to de-link education funding from funding for STI at the Ministry level.en
