2 INFORMATION GATHERING

On behalf of IUPAC approximately 40 government departments, donor and development agencies active in the field of tertiary education in Africa - with special reference to research and human resource development in chemistry - were approached through personalized letters for information (See Addendum A). Not all of them responded. Many indicated a broad involvement in the basic sciences, including chemistry.

Furthermore, a study of the extensive literature was undertaken and relevant statistical data on the sciences and chemistry in Africa collected. The overview was further enriched through extensive input by chemists from Africa.
