National workshop on the Seychelles STI Policy Review

• What is the issue?

STI Policy Reviews require developing ownership of the partnering countries and the diverse STI stakeholders (Government agencies, private sector, academia, civil society, etc.). While a strong level of ownership exists in the main partnering agency of UNCTAD (MIEI/DSTI), other stakeholders are involved only in specific consultations related to their particular STI mandates.

• How will this event address the issue?

The national workshop will present a complete working draft of the Seychelles STI Policy Review developed by UNCTAD for comments and feedback from a broad representation of stakeholders. Feedback will be incorporated in the final draft of the review. The event will include a capacity-building session to prepare national STI stakeholders for revising and implementing STI policy following on the Review’s recommendations.

• What will take place?

Day 1 and 2: Capacity-building workshop on key concepts of STI policy
