ASTI South Africa Database

This dataset contains national-level data on financial, human, and institutional resources for agricultural research and development (R&D). Accurate, reliable, and internationally comparable quantitative information on investments, human capacity, and the institutional structure of agricultural R&D is fundamental to understanding the contribution of research to agricultural growth in low- and middle-income countries. Providing such data is the mission of IFPRI’s Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) program. Through its large network of national, regional, and international partners, ASTI collects and analyzes data from government, higher education, nonprofit, and (where possible) private-sector agencies involved in agricultural R&D. The program conducts ongoing analysis of these datasets; disseminates the results of this analysis to promote advocacy and support policymaking; and builds national and regional capacity for data collection and analysis.

本数据集收录了农业研发（R&D）领域的国家级财政、人力与制度资源相关数据。精准可靠且具备国际可比性的农业研发投入、人力资源能力与制度架构量化信息，是理解研究对中低收入国家农业增长贡献的核心基础。提供此类数据正是IFPRI旗下农业科学与技术指标（Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators, ASTI）项目的使命所在。依托覆盖国家、区域与国际层面的广泛合作伙伴网络，ASTI从参与农业研发的政府、高等教育机构、非营利组织以及（可行范围内）的私营部门机构中收集并分析数据。该项目持续对上述数据集开展分析工作，传播分析成果以助力政策倡导与决策制定，并提升国家与区域层面的数据收集与分析能力。数据集文件：https://www.asti.cgiar.org/south_africa
