Report on the proposed African foundation for research and development (AFRAND)
Résumé
In most African countries, some human resources and institutional infrastructure for scientific and technological research have been developed. In spite of the amount of research carried out so far, there are few systematic mechanisms for converting research results into practical commercial activity. A related problem is that African entrepreneurs depend on ideas and technologies as the basis for sustained economic activity. There is clearly a need for mechanisms for the practical application of research results and patent (local and foreign) and for providing scientific and technological support for solving the industrial problems of African entrepreneurs.
