Part of the WG III contribution of the Third Assessment Report of the IPCCC.

(c) A students exchange programme, including university study and awareness education and public awareness raising at senior junior schools

A few of these decision tools have been incorporated into decision support systems, which provide an important technology to assist planners and decision makers.

Participants in the round table included a number of high level policy makers, including ministers of science and technology.

These policy dialogues were designed to help negotiators, policymakers and Geneva based delegates gain a better understanding of biotechnology.

Both will be combined into a single Decision Support System, which will become the new technical framework for SIDSnet.

(a) Technical study on cadastral and land information systems for decision makers in selected African countries

For policymakers, it provides regional based policy training courses on the use of biotechnology in addressing socio economic needs.

Although extensive discussion has been placed on developing capabilities in cutting edge technologies, policy makers must not overlook the importance of existing technologies in achieving development objectives.

To change that situation, efforts to convince high level decision makers of the usefulness of space technology need to be intensified.

In Ethiopia, UNCTAD is initiating a project to review the investment, technology and innovation policies in order to assist policy makers in assessing the effectiveness of investment in science and technology and related institutions.

Inadequate awareness by key decision makers of the value of space technology and its impact on social and economic development

The results are published in the FAO Remote Sensing series of technical publications and brochures for decision makers.

STCC is a cabinet level body chaired by the Department of Science and Technology, and serving as the highest science and technology policy making body in the country.

the importance of capacities as well as decision making power and accountability at the local level the strong guiding provisions at the federal and cantonal level and the subsidiarity principle

Capacity building through training of decision makers, managers and technical personnel cuts across most areas of need.

It has an urge, and technology has an urge.

(a) Improving the policy making capacity of public institutions in charge of science and technology

The applications and benefits of space technology should be taught at all levels, ranging from formal education for school children to courses for decision makers.

Implement a coherent technology policy under the guidance of the Technology Policy Committee of the Federal Space Affairs Commission

Recognizing that information technologies are important requisites for planning, development and decision making in science and technology, and recognizing also their far reaching implications for society,

2. Policy advice and technical cooperation

In most countries women are underrepresented in information and communication technology decision making bodies, including policy and regulatory institutions and ministries responsible for information and communication technologies.

Such information could help to convince policy makers and other decision makers in developing countries of the value of allocating resources to implement space technology applications in support of national and regional development.

And it's going to deny us the information that we need to make wise decisions about how to use these technologies.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION POLICY REVIEWS

Such data help policymakers formulate policies and strategies for ICT driven growth and monitor and evaluate ICT related developments in both the economic and the social realm, and help companies make the right investments and business decisions.

To achieve a national commitment to provide resources to space technology, a clear cost benefit analysis for each project should be prepared for decision makers.

The role of the techno polity is to steer the world toward positive outcomes. It will demand that decision makers use their heads and hearts and it will also test their nerves.

It will never be possible to address all the issues, both of a policy or a technical nature, that are identified.

A concerted and sustained effort should be made to create awareness among decision makers on the potentials of space technology so as to obtain appropriate political support for space based solutions on a sustained basis.

A concerted and sustained effort should be made to raise awareness among decision makers of the potentials of space technology, so as to obtain appropriate political support for space based solutions on a sustained basis.

Here technical assistance programmes can play a useful role in informing policy makers of their full range of options and their likely effectiveness.
