This result• ed In an accelerated development of research Institutes covering all maJor sectors such as Agriculture, Health, Industry, Forestry, Mineral Resources and Construction while other science end tech• nology Issues such as the.Regufatfon of Technology Stendardlaa• tlon and Metrology, Scientific Menpower·T'ralnlng, Adaptlon of Research Results, Diffusion of Science end Technology and the generation of funds for research end other activities were left unattended to. At a certain stage. a Manpower Development Boerd wes esteb­ flshed and charged with the responsibility of keeping the manpower situation under constant review. Like many other units of State Admlnsltratlon, the bod~ sees Itself as leading an Independent life and has reel ly not been able to Influence the programming of the training of manpower for the National Develop­ ment process. MANAGEMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY The early stages of the period un~er review sew the management of science and technology activity vested In the various sectors such as the Ministries of Agriculture, Health, £ducat I on, Industry and others. However,· due to very scarce resources and a general lack of apprec fetlon of the long term benefit of Investment In Science and Technology, most of the scJence and technology Import of the National Development Plans were starved and neglected. However, these arrangements ·were altered and semi-autonomous lnstltulons created to take over some of the functions of science and technology. For example: I) The planning, programming, Implementation and coordina­ tion of research In several fields of human endeavour necessary for the country's development was entrusted to the Net lone I Research Counc II, later" named the AcademY of Sc fences and now referred to as the Councl I for Scientific and Industrial Research. These In turn set up management boards for each of the lnstltut•s.
