Data sources
Primary data were collected through five institutional survey rounds in 2003-2004, 2008-2009, 2012-2013, 2015-2016, and 2017-2018 (under ASTI). These data were combined with a number of secondary data sources:
UDSM (University of Dar-es-Salaam). 2008. Institute of Resource Assessment annual report: July 2007–June 2008. Dar-es-Salaam: University of Dar-es-Salaam.
For additional secondary sources that were used to construct the pre-2001 data series, see reference list in Beintema, Ngahulira, and Kirwag (2003) Download PDF.
Estimation procedures
- For a number of agencies, research staff and expenditure data were missing for certain years. These have been interpolated or in a few cases extrapolated.
- Expenditures for the higher-education agencies are estimates based on the average expenditures per researcher for the government agencies.
- Salaries and living expenses of many expatriate researchers working on donor-supported projects at the (often main) agricultural research agencies are paid directly by their respective agency. The average implicit costs of expatriate R&D staff were calculated in the early 2000s (see Appendix 2 in Beintema, Ngahulira, and Kirway 2003), and have been extrapolated to more recent years using salary averages of a few CGIAR centers.
