摘要

在全球范围内,研究、创新以及相关的教育和创业对青年和社会经济发展至关重要。政府、大学、研究机构和私营部门在创新价值链中扮演着不同的角色。非洲薄弱的研究和创新体系往往与融资不足、能力不足、基础设施薄弱和进程等总体挑战有关。许多非洲大学和研究机构面临着验证和将其想法和发现从实验室转移到实地评估、下游开发、注册和商业化过程的挑战。通常由私营部门推动的关键的发现开发接口也没有得到很好的发展。克服这些制约因素需要协调一致的地方和全球伙伴关系,共享现有资源和资产,以及培训和使用适当的信息和通信技术和数字工具来提高生产力。重要的是,这需要私营部门的参与和发展。我们讨论了非洲创新、发展和创业计划如何利用非洲现有资产支持机构和青年激发创新。根据非洲联盟《2063年议程》和可持续发展目标,在2019冠状病毒病后时代加倍努力促进非洲发展,需要为支持这些理想进行投资。在此背景下,我们提出了一些政策建议。

A post-COVID-19 IDEA to strengthen research, innovation, and development in Africa
Globally, research, innovation, and the associated education and entrepreneurship are essential for youth and socioeconomic development. Governments, universities, research institutions, and private sector play various roles in the innovation value chain. The weak research and innovation systems in Africa are often linked to the overarching challenges of poor financing, inadequate capacity, weak infrastructure, and processes. Many African universities and research institutions are challenged to validate and transition their ideas and discoveries from the laboratory to field evaluation, and downstream development, registration, and commercialization processes. The critical discovery–development interface that is normally driven by the private sector is also not well developed. Overcoming these constraints require concerted local and global partnerships, sharing of available resources and assets, and training and use of suitable Information and Communications Technology and digital tools to boost productivity. Importantly, this requires private sector engagement and development. We discuss how the Innovation Development and Entrepreneurship Africa aims to use available assets in Africa to support institutions and youths to stimulate innovation. Redoubling efforts toward African development in the post COVID-19 era, in alignment with the African Union Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals, will require investment in support of these ideals. We offer some policy recommendations in this context.
