ACIAR and public funding of R&D: submission to the Productivity Commission

ACIAR provided the Science and Innovation Commissioned Study with a submission detailing it's unique and interesting role which transcends both Australia's aid program and its innovation system. It was established with a vision that effective aid to help reduce poverty and improve world security is most effective if the outcomes are sustainable for a considerable period of time, and especially if they are generated by activities which produce real mutual benefits.
