After a successful pilot phase, the DILIC Ghana Innovation Survey is on-going. A total of 500 manufacturing firms will be surveyed throughout the country, and their innovations activities recorded. The data collection is managed by the Science and Technology Policy Research Institute (CSIR-STEPRI), our partner on the field.

This is a major milestone for the Diffusion of Innovation in Low-Income Countries (DILIC) project. The data collected will shed light on the critical role of innovation in the development of firms in low-income countries and on how innovations spread. Preliminary results from the data collection will be available in early 2014.
