Developing contextual STI data at the continental level is key for effective decision making. In this context, the project, “Assessment of science, technology and innovation (ST&I) metrics in Africa” represents an exciting opportunity to use past and ongoing research to help governments, other policy makers, and donors make decision on future investment both in ST&I and in the collection of data to better measure and assess ST&I. The project aims to develop a scoreboard that can be used to measure performance of STI across African countries, in relation to their relevance for achieving societal goals.
