Abstract: This introductory paper pulls together the key strands of the contributions to this book. It offers an overview of several major issues relating to the role of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) in achieving Sustainable Development (SD) in Africa. However, it notes that understanding the nature of the underlying problems, challenges and opportunities in Africa is a very difficult task especially for many people looking inside from the outside.
