Four case study teams were supported, one in Mozambique, one in Senegal and two in South Africa. Research capacity building strengthened research networks through conferences and access to further education. The reports on innovation in the informal economy, in agriculture, in firms that are user innovators, and in the diffusion of telephone banking and related financial services have common threads in knowledge creation and approaches to knowledge sharing.Text1 digital file (1 v.
