The data below was acquired from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Institute for Statistics. We are showing the average (2000-2014) expenditures for research and development. The UNESCO Institute of Statistics states that these ‘expenditures (% of GDP) are current and capital expenditures (both public and private) on creative work undertaken systematically to increase knowledge, including knowledge of humanity, culture, and society, and the use of knowledge for new applications. R&D covers basic research, applied research, and experimental development that takes place in universities, government departments/agencies, research institutes and also industry. Top investor in R&D is South Africa at 0.8%.
