<DIV>Good Barrack, We should get information of whether their is an innovation policy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides that, the government has done good through the ICT Board Local grants that stimulated people's brains to look beyond their nose, and develop local content and innovations.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A good place to start would be kirdi, whose mandate in their website <A href="http://kirdi.go.ke/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>kirdi.go.ke</A> is "Kenya Industrial Research Institute (KIRDI) is a national research institute established in 1979 under the Ministry of Trade and Industry and mandated to undertake multidisciplinary research and development in industrial and allied technologies. The institute’s core objectives are handled by the R&D and Technology Transfer departments. The major R&D departments are: Engineering, Energy and Environment, ICT, Leather and Textiles, and Food Technology Divisions. KIRDI has developed over 40 technologies in these fields"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The private sector has not been left behind through forums like the "Safaricom Innovation Board"</DIV>
