Constraints for activities implemented jointly (AIJ) technology transfer in Africa

This paper outlines institutional constraints in relation to technology transfer and development in Africa. Institutional constraints are inherent in inefficient organizational, administration and management structures. Lack of institutional, incentive systems and technological capacities to re-organize institutions limits the potential for the transfer of technologies. It is practically difficult to design, implement and manage AIJ projects in Africa without a provision for capacity building. Existing institutions need strengthening and human capacity needs to be developed.
