  • Rebooting African Economies: Science and Engineering for Rapid Economic Transformation

    May 1, 2013 Editor 0

    A lecture by Calestous Juma at the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala, Uganda. Organized by the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA). Africa’s identity has historically been associated with its vast natural resources which have shaped not only its political culture but also defined its place in the global family of nations. In recent years, however, a new picture of Africa has started to emerge. African economies are increasingly being view as rapid adopters of emerging technologies. The aim of this lecture is to identify approaches for leveraging the world’s fund of scientific, technological, and engineering knowledge for rapid economic transformation.
