6.1 Recommendations

  • The option of national sectoral funding for research and development should be seriously considered by the public, private, and academic sectors of developing nations that aspire to significant S&T capacity.
  • The management of each sectoral fund should be tripartite, with the participation of the academic community, government, and industry. A portion of each fund's resources should be used to support basic science, and another portion should support infrastructural needs.
