 Innovation systems, research into use and developmentEmmanuel Cleeve International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, 2010, vol. 11, issue 2, 178-193 Abstract: This paper outlines the innovations systems approach of bringing research into use for the eradication of poverty in Africa. It describes the benefits that this approach can bring to the poor and that effective innovation process involves working with a wider range of actors, as it is important to strengthen all parts of this system, and to ensure that two-way communication between the actors balances the supply and demand to ensure that research evolves to meet the real needs of the practitioners. The Sierra Leone strategy outlines how potential research into use interventions in the country would be pursued in the period 2008-2011. Its overall purpose is to maximise the poverty-reducing impact of renewable natural resources research strategy and other research, and increase understanding of how the promotion and widespread use of research can contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth.
