Africa's Tech Gap
 Set against a global economy characterized by rapid technological advances,
intensifying competition and growing liberalization, this study examines the
“technology system” in four sub-Saharan countries, with a focus on the transfer of
technology, as well as its absorption and use, in the manufacturing industry. It analyses
the main institutions supporting technology import and absorption in Ghana, Kenya,
Uganda and Tanzania and draws comparisons with other developing countries,
particularly industrializing countries in East and South-East Asia. Further, it provides a
strategic perspective on how Governments address the technological requirements for
competitiveness, gain access to new technology, and nurture local technological
development. This chapter provides an overview of the individual country studies,
including the analytical framework for technology policy discussion, the industrial
setting, and the main determinants of technology development.
