This report, the third in a four-volume series that describes policy related processes undertaken by the International Development Research Centre in South Africa, details the work of the Centre-supported Mission on Science and Technology Policy for a Democratic South Africa. The report reviews the internal and external contexts of the Mission, the current state of science and technology and its institutions, the tertiary education sector, the agricultural research and industrial sectors, and government support of environmental issues. The report then discusses key issues related to science and technology policy, including accountability, affirmative action, research, and the military. The final sections offer suggestions on priorities for strategic research and recommendations on policy options, as well as a critical assessment of the Mission's work and its impact on the science and technology policy debate in South Africa.
