Watkins, AlfredVerma, Anubha2012-05-242012-05-242008978-0-8213-7356-9https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6343The purpose of this report is to show how development issues and policy initiatives shaped the design and structure of the science, technology, and innovation (STI) capacity-building program that eventually emerged from the partnership between the Government of Rwanda and the World Bank. Too often, government STI capacity building programs do not closely link specific STI investments and the country's economic and social development objectives, almost as if investing in science and research and development (R&D) obviated the need to design detailed programmatic linkages and develop mission oriented capacity-building programs. These challenges fall into two broad categories: (a) improving the lives of the rural poor, reducing poverty, and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and (b) generating wealth, diversifying the economy, and supporting private sector initiatives to produce and sell value-added natural resource (mostly agricultural) exports.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTION PLANACTION PLANSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL EDUCATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH BOARDAGRICULTURAL SCIENCESAGRICULTURAL YIELDSAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE RESEARCHAPPLIED RESEARCHAPPLIED SCIENCESAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIESAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYAUTOMOBILESBEANSBEST-PRACTICEBULK COMMODITIESBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SERVICESBUSINESSESBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPABILITY BUILDINGCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDINGCASH FLOWCASSAVACERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCITIESCIVIL SOCIETYCOFFEECOLLABORATIONCOMMERCECOMMODITIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMPETITIVE GLOBAL ECONOMYCOMPETITIVENESSCOPYRIGHTCOURSE DESIGNCROPCULTIVATION TECHNIQUESCUSTOMSDEFORESTATIONDIGITAL DIVIDEDISEASESDISTRIBUTION NETWORKSDRIP IRRIGATIONE-MAILECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION DEPARTMENTELECTRICITYEMPLOYMENTEND-USERSENGINEERSENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCEEQUIPMENTEXPORT PROMOTIONEXTENSION AGENTSFARMINGFIBER CROPSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD CROPSFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLYFOREIGN INVESTMENTFRUITSGISGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGOVERNMENT POLICYHARMONIZATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONINDUSTRY STANDARDSINFORMATION SERVICEINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRYINNOVATIONINNOVATION POLICYINNOVATION PROGRAMINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYIRRIGATIONKNOWLEDGE CREATIONKNOWLEDGE PRODUCTSKNOWLEDGE SOCIETYLEARNINGLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLICENSESLITERACYLITERACY RATESLIVESTOCKMAIZEMANAGERIAL SKILLSMARKET DEMANDMARKET DEMANDSMARKET PRICESMARKET RESEARCHMARKETINGMATERIALMEATMILKMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHNATIONAL TRAININGNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSORGANIC CERTIFICATIONORGANIC PRACTICESORGANIC PRODUCTIONPEST CONTROLPHOTOPOLLUTIONPOTATOESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRODUCT DEVELOPMENTPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTION TECHNIQUESPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPROTOTYPESPUBLIC UTILITYPURCHASING POWERQUALITY MANAGEMENTQUERIESR&DREGULATORY AGENCIESREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTRESEARCH CENTERSRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESEARCH LABORATORIESRESEARCH PROGRAMSRESEARCH RESULTSRESULTRICERURAL DEVELOPMENTSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTISTSSILOSSKILL LEVELSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOIL MANAGEMENTSOIL TESTINGSTANDARDIZATIONSUBSISTENCE CROPSSUBSISTENCE FARMERSSUPPLY CHAINTEACHERSTEACHINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL INSTITUTESTECHNICAL KNOWLEDGETECHNICAL NEEDSTECHNICAL STAFFTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNICAL TRAININGTECHNICIANSTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY DIFFUSIONTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTECHNOLOGY USERSTELEPHONETHERMAL POWER PLANTSTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSETRAINING COURSESTRAINING INITIATIVESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING PARTNERSHIPSTRAINING PROGRAMSUNEPUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMMEUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY RECTORSUSAIDUSESVALUE CHAINVALUE CHAINSVEGETABLESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWATER RESOURCESWATERSHEDWEALTH CREATIONWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7356-9
