This report outlines how Senegal’s science, technology and innovation (STI) system can be understood through the three innovation policy frames central to Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP). It maps Senegal’s existing innovation structures and then explores their transformative and experimental potential, showing how traditional R&D and systems-of-innovation approaches (Frames 1 and 2) can be complemented by … from Developing a Transformative Innovation Policy approach: The case of Senegal

Experience of experimentation within TIPC’s Africa Hub indicates that designing an experiment for Transformative Innovation Policy requires the following: Firstly, the bringing together of a diverse understanding and engagement of a wide range of stakeholders across all stages of research and innovation pathways in non-linear ways. Secondly, this calls for a stronger shift towards a … from Selecting experiments: Insights from the Africa Hub
