Introduction

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is the foremost national science and technology institution in Ghana. It was established in its present form by NLC Decree 293 of 1968 and later re-established by the CISR Act 521 of 1996. However, its origins can be traced back to the former National Research Council (NCR), which was established in 1959.
