The Status of Science, Technology and Innovation in Africa
‘Science’ has for long been advocated as a key driver of Africa’s post-independence modernisation. This project featured strongly in the Organization of African Unit Lagos Plan of Action of 1980 that called for governments to mobilise 1% of GDP towards building their scientific and technological capabilities. The 1% goal was duly re-affirmed at the African Union Ministers’ Conference of 2003, in Africa’s Science and Technology Consolidated Plan o…

La collaboration des BRICS dans les domaines de la science, de la technologie et de l’innovation
En 2015, les BRICS ont atteint deux objectifs principaux : la création de la Banque de développement des BRICS et l’adoption de la Déclaration du Cap sur la science, la technologie et l’innovation. Le premier fait l’objet d’autres contributions à cette édition spéciale. Le second se fixe comme objectif d’encourager la collaboration entre les pays BRICS dans le domaine de la science, de la technologie et de l’innovation en identifiant cinq champs …

Mobility of the Highly Skilled—Towards a Non-racial South Africa
The topic of this article is the mobility of the highly skilled, or ‘moths’, towards, in and from post-apartheid South Africa. The article picks up where the Human Sciences Research Council study on the mobility of knowledge workers left off by examining new data, and innovation and immigration policy. It argues that there has been a considerable shift in researcher demographics, but that this has been through a policy of substitution rather than…
Prospects for Cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation among the BRICS Members
The establishment of the BRICS New Development Bank signals the maturing of the financial relationships among thepartners of the “club.” This has acquired a heightened profile through the Cape Town Declaration, whereby the BRICSministers of science and technology committed to cooperation on science, technology and innovation (STI). This articleexplores some of the questions raised by the declaration, for example regarding the status of intra-BRIC…
A cooperação dos BRICS na ciência, tecnologia e inovação
A Declaração dos BRICS na Cidade do Cabo em 10 de fevereiro de 2014 comprometeu os cinco signatários para um programa de cooperação em ciência, tecnologia e inovação (CTI). Foi tomada a decisão específica de alocar responsabilidades setoriais para cada parte: mudança climática e atenuação de catástrofes (Brasil); recursos hídricos e tratamento de poluição (Rússia); tecnologia geoespacial e suas aplicações (Índia); energias novas e renováveis, e e…
Rhetoric and Change in Innovation Policy
The onset of constitutional democracy in South Africa potentially marked a critical juncture in the evolution of its innovation system. At this point the Ministry responsible for science and technology adopted the innovation systems approach. This adoption followed the IDRC OECD-style review of 1993. Nineteen years later, after a full-fledged OECD Review, the extent to which the innovation system demonstrates continuity or change may be assessed.…
Data Quality Assessment for Comparative Effectiveness Research in Distributed Data Networks
BACKGROUND: Electronic health information routinely collected during health care delivery and reimbursement can help address the need for evidence about the real-world effectiveness, safety, and quality of medical care. Often, distributed networks that combine information from multiple sources are needed to generate this real-world evidence. OBJECTIVE: We provide a set of field-tested best practices and a set of recommendations for data quality c…
Innovation policy and higher education in South Africa
The South African Department of Science and Technology Ten Year Plan seeks to move the system of innovation toward growing a knowledge economy. It sets ambitious targets for scientific production (PhD graduates; world share of scientific publications) whose attainment in part rests on the effectiveness of the universities. The paper commences with a thumbnail sketch of the system of innovation. This is followed by a discussion of the internationa…

Developing Mechanisms to Promote South-South Research in Science and Technology
The African continent has struggled ta develop an indigenous agenda for science and technology research and development. Despite efforts since the 1960s, the results have been less than satisfactory. In the southern region, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has attempted to play a coordinating rote for science and technology, but is widely regarded ta have been unsuccessjul in this venture. Although many countries in the SADC regi…

Educational Reform and the Dependency Paradigm
In common with many other African countries, newly independent Botswana attempted to redress problems in its education sector through the reforming agency of a national education commission. Slightly more than a decade has passed since the National Commission on Education of 1976 carried out its work, and now is an appropriate time to consider its impact. In carrying out this assessment, particular attention will be given to the area of junior se…

Vipassana Meditation and the Psychobiology of Wilhelm Reich
Theravada Buddhism and Reich's psychobiology appear at first to be polar opposites. Yet there is a Theravada school of meditation, the Vipassana of U Ba Khin, which in both theory and practice turns out to be remarkably close to Reich's worldview and his therapy. The major differences between Reich and this branch of Buddhism are the attitudes toward life and movement, Reich being strongly pro, and the Theravadas being clearly anti. In spite of t…
