| description |
The purpose of this report is to show
how development issues and policy initiatives shaped the
design and structure of the science, technology, and
innovation (STI) capacity-building program that eventually
emerged from the partnership between the Government of
Rwanda and the World Bank. Too often, government STI
capacity building programs do not closely link specific STI
investments and the country's economic and social
development objectives, almost as if investing in science
and research and development (R&D) obviated the need to
design detailed programmatic linkages and develop mission
oriented capacity-building programs. These challenges fall
into two broad categories: (a) improving the lives of the
rural poor, reducing poverty, and achieving the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and (b) generating wealth,
diversifying the economy, and supporting private sector
initiatives to produce and sell value-added natural resource
(mostly agricultural) exports. |
