ABSTRACT
Our objective in this study has been to try to determine the effects of the IMF/ World Bank’s Structural Adjustment Programmes on the pursuit of science and technology in four Sub-Saharan African countries. Given the near-ubiquity of such programmes in this part of the world, our findings may well have a relevance that transcends Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda: we rather hope not, for the findings, which we will summarize in the next section, are not optimistic for the countries in our sample.
