Abstract
This policy brief is situated in the backdrop of declining or stagnant national and international research funding sources and the increasing need for new models for funding research and innovation. African countries face an urgent need to industrialise and achieve rapid economic growth to improve the livelihoods of citizens and attain robust infrastructure that supports health, energy, environmental and food security as well as full employment leveraging the demographic dividend highlighted in Agenda 2063. Appropriation of new knowledge generated by contextualised research and innovation is a key driver of sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development.
