Experiments in technology assessment for international development: what are the lessons for institutionalisation?
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 03:39 authored by Adrian ElyAdrian Ely, Patrick van Zwanenberg, Andrew StirlingAndrew StirlingSeveral countries across the OECD have a relatively strong history of using technology assessment (TA) to inform science, technology and innovation (STI) policies. But many lower income, developing countries lack the capabilities and institutions for doing so. Despite its more general potential role in this area, TA has been used relatively little (in or outside the OECD) to inform and challenge investments and policies that address international development objectives. This paper discusses two case studies in which non-governmental TA exercises have focussed on international development objectives in and across lower income countries. Both have made particular efforts to include broader perspectives in the TA process. The paper asks what we can learn from these networked “experiments” and explores possibilities for further institutionalisation of TA for international development.
