Public agricultural R&D spend- ing continued to increase during the 2008–2011 period. Growth was strongest at Ghana’s universities, although the CSIR institutes and CRIG also reported increases in spending levels during this period.
Although government support to CSIR has remained strong, government funding only covers CSIR’s salary bill and a very small share of its day-to-day operating costs. CSIR’s institutes are almost fully dependent on donor funding for their research activities.
