Abstract
The Zambian government has been building the national
system of innovation (NSI) since the mid-1990s. But due
to poor interaction between government, business and
universities and the absence of pro-poor innovation
policy instruments, the system has suffered from serious
shortfalls.
This paper investigates the informal elements of the NSI
policies and analyzes the interactive dynamics of the
innovation system to measure successes and identify
failures. It proposes the triple-helix approach as a key
concept to building an inclusive government-informal
sector relationship that is framed on pro-poor policies
for the alleviation of poverty through enhancing
socioeconomic development
