Policy & Development Research

Our research programmes respond to the Centre's Objective 1: Generating evidence to support policy and decision-making. We recognize that policies and decisions that support innovation and wealth creation must rest on a solid foundation backed by concrete evidence. Our research programmes explore the challenges and opportunities presented by scientific, technological, institutional and governance changes and provide end-users and decision-makers with well researched, evidence-based policy options.

Our research is organized around four key themes namely:

  1. Agricultural Innovation, Food and Nutrition Security
  2. Health Innovation and Healthcare Delivery
  3. Intellectual Property Rights and Knowledge Management
  4. Entrepreneurship and Governnace of Science, Technology and Innovation
