| Abstract: | The article uses the development of the Internet in Zambia, through commercialisation of a university based academic e-mail system into the country's first Internet service provider (ISP), to identify the relationship between government-university-(development) partners and to outline some important policy lessons where African universities could play a role as technology transfer agents. Finally, the paper proposes that a Tripe Helix relation of universities-government-partners may be important in transferring, adapting and mastering knowledge based technologies in Africa. |
