dc.description.abstractPublic and private sector actors must take into account the importance of cultural determinants underlying the success or failure of technology transfer. This policy brief provides an overview of implications for technology transfer in African countries. Public-private partnerships (PPP) need to identify role models and opinion leaders at community and sector level. Analysis on the local content requirement for African countries show a need for proper systems, infrastructure and resources to disseminate information about innovations. African governments must involve local institutions, activists, and consultants in bridging the managerial capacities needed to identify, absorb, disseminate and assimilate context-specific knowledge and technology required for a successful transfer.en
