Abstract: Abstract As discussed in Chapters 3 and 7 , growth in Africa has neither alleviated poverty as fast as one would expect, nor been accompanied by structural transformation. Structural transformation is impossible without technological change or technological diffusion and absorption. Considering that technological development preceded structural transformation in most countries, this chapter discusses the nature and determinants of technological capability in Africa and explores various options for strengthening the region’s technological capacities.
