Evidence based policy making STI policy and indicators Dr Shamila Nair-Bedouelle Chef of Unit, AU/CPA Implementation Division for Science Policies and Sustainable Development, Natural Sciences Sector,

African Ministerial Council for Science and Technology (AMCOST 2003) « urgency to build the continents capacity to harness, apply and develop science and technology in order to eradicate poverty, fight diseases, stem environmental degradation and improve economic competitiveness »

Why the need for mapping African STI capacity Science policy measures and interventions should be evidence based STI = driver of national economic development A common African framework on existing STI capacity producing regular reliable statistics as well as reproducible indicators

Mapping African STI capacity Expected results -contribute to S&T development of the continent through accurate analysis and subsequent actions in a "needs based" approach - develop a compendium of information relating to the STI capacity for each of the 54 African Member States -examine the impact of existing infrastructures on young African scientists - identify the STI environments conducive to scientific research and learning through best practices - develop tools and a common methodology for STI data collection and validation for the African continent and provide the input to the African Observatory

Evidence based policy making Historically, universities and research activities have not been evaluated, and there has been no evaluation culture. Shift from (bureaucratic) planning and programming trends to productivity (performance); from inputs and processes to outputs and results; and from bureaucratic- administrative control to the evaluation of multiple actors.

Thus, decision makers require guidelines to assess results & effectiveness of the adopted policies. Hence the renewed attention paid to Science and Technology Statistics and Indicators (STSI).

STI policy, evidence\data needed: the down-to-earth look Do I need to invest in R&D or in Higher Education? Better know how much you are investing already What is a convenient and relevant measure? % of GDP? Number of graduates? In which areas should I invest predominantly? In which areas am I already investing? Which are important economic sectors, in mining, agriculture, industry, services, etc? Which are crucial public sectors, and what are national or regional peculiarities? (health, environment, utilities, defense,…) Do I need to improve quality of higher education or research? Better know how you compare to other countries Are there sufficient links of universities and institutes to industry?

Given the current limitations, can we appropriately measure scientific and technological activities? How should the measurement be made, so that they can be used as a policy and management instrument ? How should the contribution of scientific and technological activities to economic and social development be measured?

How much money should be invested in science and technology and basically, in what ? How to know the capacity of response of science and technology vis-à-vis the demand? How to evaluate its possible contribution to the fulfilment of societys basic and productive needs ? What type of indicators should be used regarding scientific and technological activities (STA) : STA input indicators STA output indicators STA innovation indicators STA social impact indicators
