Africa Country Programmes
RIU has established six Africa Country Programmes: in the east Rwanda and Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia in the south, and in the west Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
The rationale of these programmes is that currently mechanisms to articulate the demand for research and other information are poorly developed. The country programmes are therefore experimenting with a variety of networking approaches to establish better linkages between the research, entrepreneurial, policy and farming communities with a view to strengthening innovation capacity.
