conference was attended by more than 40 African science ministers.
Speaking to journalists after attending the two-day conference, Science and Technology Minister Heneri Dzinotyiwei said India had set aside a US$5 billion facility for the development of science and technology in Africa.
Minister Dzinotyiwei said the money was going to be disbursed to African countries as loans and grants. He said the conference reaffirmed the need to identify small and medium scale technologies in selected areas where India could co-operate with Africa.
Zimbabwe had the potential to do better in science and technology if the sector was fully funded.
