Descript	-

The Economic and Social Council, in its resolution 1995/4, requested the Commission on Science and Technology for Development to liaise with UNCTAD in implementing a programme of country reviews on science, technology and innovation policy (STIP) for interested countries. This request was affirmed by UNCTAD IX. The purpose of the STIP review is to enable participating countries to evaluate the efficiency with which their scientific and technological, as well as industrial, economic, educational and social institutions and mechanisms contribute to overall development, particularly the technological development of their enterprises. This brief note was prepared by the UNCTAD secretariat for the third session of the Commission. Its aim was to provide the background to the initiation of the STIP programme, and indicate its objectives, the spirit and mechanisms of the reviews and the number of country reviews thus far undertaken
