Description

Innovation for Development in Africa by Jussi Jauhiainen and Lauri Hooli explores the crucial role of innovation in development policy formation across Africa. This book examines how innovations and innovation system development policies shape development policies, particularly between the Global North and South, and investigates their impact on international aid and development policies. The authors delve into the roles of various sectors, including public, private, and non-governmental organizations, universities, and local communities, in driving inclusive innovation. They also consider who benefits from innovation-focused development policies and whether practical innovation instruments can effectively address global poverty. Accessible to a range of readers, including students, policymakers, and practitioners, this book includes discussion questions and further reading suggestions to provide a comprehensive introduction to innovation policies and development in Africa.
