UN to Unveil Panel for 'Breakthrough' Technology Bank
http://allafrica.com/stories/201407151193.html?aa_source=mf-hdlns
A "breakthrough" UN initiative for transferring technology and building scientific capacity in the least developed countries (LDCs) will move closer in "a matter of weeks" when a panel to flesh out the proposals is announced, says an official close to the process.
The high-level panel will consist of around a dozen experts from various backgrounds, including scientists, business leaders and government representatives, according to Khalil Rahman, chief of policy coordination for the LDCs at UN-OHRLLS (the UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States).
It will organise a feasibility study to help get the UN's tech transfer mechanism - known as the Technology Bank - off the ground, he says.
