In Pursuit of Science and Technology in Sub-Saharan Africa (Hardcover)

This volume examines the progress of sub-Saharan African countries in advancing science and technology in the context of the structural adjustment programmes they have undertaken. It looks at the pursuit of science and technology both before and after structural adjustment programmes have been attempted in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The efficiency with which the research and development has been carried out, the transferability of scientific and technical resources from one activity to another and the directions in which advances are channelled are discussed, and the institutions engaged in providing resources are identified as well as the rates at which resources are allocated. Finally, the book examines how much resources are devoted to science and technology and with what objectives.
