[kictanet] Innovation Policy

[joseph wafula]

the National Academy of Sciences had developed a science, technology and 
innovation policy sometimes back with the assistance of UNESCO. I gues it was 
Prof Wandiga at the cemtre of it.

Thanks Lordmwesh,

I had Kirdi in mind, though i was just curious because i have realised the 
Universities seem to running their own parallel arrangements and then talk of 
the Safaricom innovation board, does this mean there is a vacuum (umbrella) body 
for bringing together all this stakeholders. If i am not wrong KIRDI was 
responsible for the budding Jua Kali Sector, are there any lessons to be learnt 
from the success of the sector that could help propel the ICT sector forwad?

My thoughts
