Many developing countries face serious impediments to harnessing science, technology and innovation (STI) for sustainable development. They need to improve their STI capacity, and therefore should implement appropriate STI policies. But they also face capacity constraints in designing and implementing coherent STI policies and integrated programmes. Identifying key constraints, finding solutions and building domestic STI capacity are crucial to promoting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This project includes three STI Policy reviews to assess national policy frameworks, identify gaps and strengths, and propose policy actions to remedy the gaps, capacity building on STI and establishing an STI policymaker network for mutual learning. The three STIP reviews will pilot the new STI policy review framework for country reviews that UNCTAD is in the process of developing to adapt them for the goals of promoting more sustainable development and meeting the SDGs. The project aims to deliver an integrated package that ensures coherence across various policy areas, strengthens national STI policy frameworks and institutions, and builds STI capacity in developing countries. The project targets at least 12 beneficiary countries in two developing regions (Africa and Asia), with a special focus on LDCs. Key stakeholders are government ministries involved in formulating a wide range of policies, the business community, and academic and research institutions. UNCTAD will implement the project in collaboration with UN regional commissions (UNESCAP, UNECA), OHRLLS, UNIDO, UNU-MERIT and UNESCO. It is expected that at the end of the project, policymakers in beneficiary developing countries will be more familiar with both common challenges and good practices from other national experiences to address STI policy integration and coherence as a tool for sustainable development.
