OutlineOutline
The science, technology and innovation (STI) are vital to economic and social progress. In an increasingly globalization, we recognized that
high levels of investment in research and innovation are essential, both for economic competitiveness,and to yield innovations in areas such as: agriculture and food; health; natural resources; environment; industry and energy sectors; and make tangible improvements to the quality of life.
IntroductionIntroduction
The challenges observed are:
Lack of STI data
STI are not given priority as compared to other
sectors in terms of resources allocation, hence poor
progress performance in STI
Introduction (contd.)Introduction (contd.)
We thank NEPAD’s initiative that by now many African
countries started ASTII initiative. Hence Tanzania like
other African countries has started now to involve in
the development of STI indicator through R&D and
Innovation survey. This make tangible improvements to
the quality of life. To achieve this, collaborative effort
from the Government and its MDAs is vital.
Introduction (contd.)Introduction (contd.)
The survey aimed at collecting information about
Research and Development
Product and process innovation
The indicators will help the policy decision making
and economic and social progress
Organizational and marketing innovation
(for three-year period 2005/06 to 2007/08 inclusive).
ObjectivesObjectives
Research & Development (R&D) are inputs in higher
education/science councils/ government/ non-
profit organizations and in new, significantly
improved goods or organizational and marketing
innovations
The information collected will lead to the
development of Innovation indicators

ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED TO DATEACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED TO DATE
The team of experts decided that the survey be
conducted by themselves so as to learn on the actual
situation and associated problems which might occur
during the exercise,
The team agreed that more industrialized regions
should be involved in the Innovation survey. These are
Dare es Salaam, Morogoro, Tanga, Mwanza, Moshi
and Mbeya.
DETAILS OF THE SURVEYDETAILS OF THE SURVEY
It was also greed that all R&D Institution in the country be involved in the survey and it was adopted according to the Agricultural Zones as follows:
Eastern Zone: Tanga, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam, Pwaniand Zanzibar
Cental Zone: Dodoma and Singida
Western Zone: Tabora and Kigoma
Lake Zone: Mwanza, Mara, Kagera and Shinyanga

The team also agreed that, immediately after the
planning meeting, pre-test of the innovation survey
instrument and real data collection for Dar es Salaam
based R&D institutions should start.
During the meeting it was noted that the budget is
higher than the available funds from NEPAD, hence
COSTECH and the Ministry of Communication,
Science and Technology were requested to work out
from other sources to cover the deficit.
DETAILS OF THE SURVEY (contd.)DETAILS OF THE SURVEY (contd.)
The participants agreed that the whole exercise
should take less than nine months. We will collect
data from 616 establishments (With above 25
employees), 74 R&D Institutions and about 20
Universities/Higher learning institutions.

The team of expert adapted the South African
National Innovation Survey of 2005 to guide the
Innovation survey Instrument for Tanzania.
During the discussion we agreed to conduct the
innovation survey in manufacturing firms and mining
only (Agriculture and service sectors have to wait until
later stage).
The developed and amended innovation survey
questionnaires will be written in a friendly format that is
easy to edit, read and understand.
