Description Kenya, like the majority of African countries, has been lacking an institutionalized national ST&I system of indicators to support evidence-based policy formulation, implementation and maintenance to support national development. Currently, a number of African countries, including Kenya, have recognized the need to develop such frameworks and are therefore participating in the African Union (AU)/New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD)-led African Science.
Technology and Innovation Indicators Initiative (ASTII). ASTII aims to build capacity in African countries to conduct regular research and experimental development (R&D) and innovation surveys to obtain ST&I indicators for monitoring and evaluating progress towards attainment of national development goals. The Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (MoHEST) is the ASTII focal point and collaborates with the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) in implementing the programme.
