The ASTII project was introduced in Zambia in September 2007. Since project inception in the country, data on R&D core indicators was collected and published in the 1st African Innovation Outlook (AIO-2010). In addition, data for both R&D and Innovation indicators featured in the 2nd edition of 2014 (AIO2014).    

Through in-country and regional trainings, a total of 19 officials were trained on international survey methodologies (OECD).

The country signed a grant agreement of USD50,000 (2008-2010) with SIDA for STI surveys.
