Seychelles Vision 2033 and the NDS 2019-2023 contain explicit provisions for promoting STI. The 2016-2025 Science, Technology and Innovation Policy and Strategy (STIPS) is well aligned with the Vision 2033 and the NDS. Mainstreaming STI across all sectors of the economy is key to realizing Vision 2033. In addition, the Seychelles has an array of national policies which, while not strictly in the mandate of the MIEI and DSTI, can positively contribute to STI outcomes. These include policies for FDI, intellectual property protection, trade, industrialization, environmental conservation and climate change, education and training, public procurement, ICT, technology, biosafety and the blue economy. Illustrative cases or examples are given to demonstrate that for successful implementation of STIPS 2016-2025 there is a need for policy coherence and alignment across policy sectors, and the use of policy mixes. STIPS should not be treated as a stand-alone policy regime, but as a framework for mainstreaming STI across all sectors of the economy.
