Understanding the drivers and sources of the recent economic growth performance of African countries is important both for development policy and those who are taking decisions about it. For growth to result in economic transformation, evidence abounds that economies should be knowledge-based and innovation-driven. As exemplified by advanced industrial countries and newly industrializing countries or emerging economies, knowledge-based and innovation-driven economies are those with appropriate and sustained investments in science, technology and innovation (STI). This report is structured as follows: section 2 briefly examines the contribution of science, technology and innovation to economic growth; section 3 discusses the transformation of African economies and the role of national systems of innovation; section 4 presents an overview of STI profiles in three separate but related contexts of developed countries, developing countries and African economies; and the concluding section lays the foundation for the preparation of the methodological framework for STI profiles of African countries.
