Research And National Development
Research has a very powerful impact on Ghana's economy and policy. The successful use of research helps to set public policy base and feedback mechanisms for decision-making.
Some research outputs by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have had dramatic effects on the nation's poverty reduction process. Other types of research have helped improve the climate of ideas influencing policy makers and politicians.
The CSIR, the largest research organisation in Ghana, among other things, undertakes various types of systematic research activities.
These include construction, health, agriculture, forestry, industrial and policy research. Most of the research programmes of the thirteen institutes within the CSIR are officialy sponsored and often donor- financed.
As a fantastic research organisation, the CSIR produces outputs in the form of know how, processes, methods, equipment, products and service for private sector development. The major contributions include pozzolana cement, improved variety of maize, cowpea, rice, soya bean and sorghum.
Others are fufu and kokonte flour, high protein weaning food, chorkor smoker, wood shingle roofing and burnt bricks.
The rest are improved planting materials for Odum, Teak and Wawa, snail farming, liquid soap, plant biogas technology, wood processing machines, soil conservation and land management practices.
It must be emphasised that it is through scientific research that any society can be changed significantly and rapidly. Research could bring about economic improvement.
Research encourages the movement of new methods, ideas and mechanisms to solve problems. Research bring about doing old thing in new and improved ways.
If it is true that developed countries owe their progress partly to technological and scientific progress, then the government should encourage scientific and technological research.
The nation needs to apply science and technology systematically to the agricultural, industrial, health and construction sectors of the economy to raise productivity and increase technical efficiency.
This calls for effective interactions between the government and the CSIR. It needs political recognition to make it play its useful role in society.
