520 |a A brief overview of the African economic picture reveals a paradox where the continent that has rich mineral resources, nearly a billion people, and a land mass which includes the sizes of China, USA, India, Western Europe, Argentina together - a size larger than the sum of these regions - is in an unacceptable state of being an object of aid, debt, and loans despite the vast resources both known and yet to be explored. Africa should have been a productive and innovation centre - and not a charity and aid centre of the world where "donorship" has replaced African national ownership. This contested ownership applies not only to Africa's resources, but also to the continent's own agency. This volume examines diverse issues - issues that the contributors have dealt with in their research by applying principles of innovation.
