"A strong and dynamic capacity in science, technology and innovation (STI) can no longer be seen as a luxury that is suitable only for wealthier, more economically powerful countries. Rather, if developing countries hope to prosper in the global economy, and if world leaders expect globalization to foster sustainable development and to reduce poverty, STI capacity building is an absolute necessity for all countries. This book summarises the case studies presented at the February 2007 World Bank Global Forum on Building Science, Technology and Innovation Capacity. The forum discussed "how-to" lessons of STI capacity-building experience from developing and industrial countries. The presentations highlight key issues for policy makers when addressing STI capacity building to alleviate poverty and to gro and diversify the economy"--P. 4 of cover.
