The 2017 Senior Experts Dialogue on science, technology and innovation and the African transformation agenda is to be hosted by Senegal. The themes presented build on previous, ongoing work or draw from current policy debates and dialogues relating to Africa’s development challenges. The report shows that private sector funding of R&D in Africa is low relative both to government expenditure in Africa and to private sector expenditure on R&D in other regions of the world. It is thus easy to conclude that financing is a major constraint and that new and innovative ways to finance R&D and innovation in Africa must be explored.
