Leaders of five African countries -- Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Sene-
gal, and South Africa -- have put together the framework for a New 
Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). This initiative comes 
amid increasing concern that Africa lags behind the rest of the world 
in economic development because of political and social instability, 
coupled with low investments in science and technology. In his arti-
cle, Steven Chandiwana, director of Zimbabwe's Blair Research Insti-
tute, examines the vision and strategic framework of NEPAD for the 
redevelopment of Africa and suggests a role for local scientists in 
its implementation.
