Recommendations and role of ESCAP

Governments in the region should carefully consider this publication and develop action plans tailored to their specific objectives, context and level of STI development. This publication makes five broad recommendations, within which more detailed action items are enumerated. For these action items to have real meaning, they must be supported by stakeholders across the political spectrum and, importantly, be associated with explicit time bounds. As member States have committed to a 15-year time horizon (the 2030 Agenda), these recommendations have been categorized as short-term (1 year), medium-term (3 years) and longterm (5 years).
