A research study to understand national knowledge systems.

DFID would like to fund this study, working in technical collaboration with the Science Granting Councils of Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. This study is part of a wider partnership programme which includes the Science Granting Councils Initiative, a partnership between Canada’s IDRC, South Africa’s National Research Fund and fifteen Science Granting Councils across Africa.
