However, the overall objective of the innovation survey, being part of the national ST&I system of indicators that is under development, is to build Kenya\u2019s capacity to develop and use innovation indicators in designing and implementing ST&I policies and strategies for national development. \n\nThe survey is therefore an attempt to probe the activity of innovation through the collection of data on various aspects of innovation in order to develop relevant innovation indicators and specific innovation policies for the country. These indicators will then enable key stakeholders to understand the state of the national innovation system and its capacity to deliver the intended results so as to address the components that need attention. \n\nThe innovation survey is designed to:\n\n\u2022   Develop and cause the adoption of internationally comparable innovation indicators;\n\u2022   Build human and institutional capacities to collect innovation indicators;\n\u2022   Inform the country on the state of innovation; and\n\u2022   Provide both qualitative and quantitative data on innovation at firm level.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2012-03-01","end":"2012-06-29","cycle":"3 months"}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"Firms in  Major Towns of Kenya (urban)\n\n Mombasa City, Nakuru Town, Eldoret Town and Kisumu City","analysis_unit":"Firms and establishment as units of analysis","universe":"Selected towns","data_kind":"Aggregate data [agg]","notes":"The Innovation Survey covered business firms in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret.
