Fostering Technological Capacity Building: The Case of Ethiopia and the United Republic of Tanzania
Wangwe, Samuel M. / 2000

The idea of undertaking a project specially designed to foster technological capacity building in the least developed countries was born during the formal and informal sessions of the Ad-Hoc Working Group on the Interrelationship between Investment and Technology Transfer. During those discussions, the need to examine the feasibility of science and technology policy reviews “a’ la OECD” was highlighted as was the need to explore whether such reviews could be carried out by joint teams of project committed experts from both the donor developed countries, and from the respective Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
