Science and technology (S&T) indicators for Africa
Abstract
The objective of this note is to provide a guide to compiling S&T indicators in a country where these indicators have typically not yet been adequately formulated. The aim is to provide a model for developing S&T indicators which can be replicated in countries wanting to build a set of S&T indicators. The note first examines the nature of S&T indicators, and how these indicators can be used to promote S&T development. Secondly, it examines what S&T indicators should contain and the relationship between S&T statistics and S&T indicators. Thirdly, recommendations are provided on how to further develop and refine S&T indicators so that they become useful tools.
