elements of S&T capacity as Integral parts off the pursuit of sectoral goals. 3. Promote the growth step by step of research, development and demonstration capacity as regular functions In the sectors where It Is a priority, by facll ltatlng the training of R&D manpower and by provision of Infrastructure as well as equipment and material. 4. Organize and procedures for Information In S&T Information operate S&T Information systems and the acquisition and utilization of S&T every sector and as part of a national network. 5. Organize and Implement systems. Instruments and procedures for the proper assessment, choice and negotiation for technological Imports particularly suitable for application In Ethiopia. 6. Organise and Implement a national program of S&T popula­ risation. Formulate and pub I Ieise a science vocabulary In the national language to facll !tate S&T popularisa­ tion. 113 • 1. Organise close Inter-linkage of R&D, with production and services. as wei I as with education and training. 8. Organise and conduct assessment of traditional technologies In sectors where these will continue to be Important and enhance those with the Intrinsic potential for Improvement. 9. Build and strengthen project design and project Implementation management capacity In priority sectors. 10. Strengthen the capacity to utilize, maintain and repair technology In every sector. Thus, the above considerations are good Indications that a Jot of thought has been given to this Issue of strengthening of R&D, experimental and design capabilities In Ethiopia. A lot remains to be done, however In the preparation of programmes and projects as a first step toward meeting the objectives of S&T capability building In Ethiopia. At present there Is Jack of capability In S&T planning and management In Ethiopia and, as a result, the attempts made so far are too general lacking In ?peclflclty. Internal consistency, simplicity. clarity and concrete ways of achieving the objectives. CONCLUSION
