35.	Do not make a fetish out of Research and Development spending
	Tuesday, December 5, 2006  by Admin
	There is no doubt that R&D can be used as a tool for learning and increasing competitiveness. But it is not the only source of knowledge or basis for industrial production. In fact, other activities such as design, production and incremental changes to products and processes are far more important to the industrialisation of poor developing countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa.

43.	Fostering innovation, productivity, and technological change
	Thursday, June 22, 2006  by Admin
	Sustained growth that capitalizes on Tanzania’s recent macroeconomic stability and structural reforms will increasingly depend on the economy’s capacity for innovation—that is, the capacity to produce a wider array of goods and services, accelerate the pace of technological change, and integrate with the global economy. This paper argues that the quality of education, particularly post-primary education, is a crucial element of the capacity to innovate, clarifing that innovation in the Tanzanian context refers to products that previously have not been produced successfully in Tanzania and the adoption of technologies and processes that are new to the country.

	Most sub-Saharan Africans depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Improving the welfare of the next generation of Africans thus requires sustainable technical change in agriculture. Africa has neglected agriculture and agricultural technology development and transfer (TDT) over the past twenty years. Agricultural production per capita declined by 22percent from 1971 to 1984, and the share of African government spending devoted to agricultural TDT declined by 37percent from 1971 to 1991.
