Plan of Presentation • S&T Capacity Building: The International Agenda • Why Is S&T Capacity Building Important? • What Do We Mean by S&T Capacity? • How Do Countries Build S&T Capacity? / What Has the Bank Done to Help? • The Way Forward: Future Agenda 2
S&T Capacity Building: The International Agenda 3
Convergence of Views • • UN MDG Taskforce Blair Commission Inter-Academy Council Many Government leaders (Mauritius, Rwanda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Vietnam) all agree that S&T capacity building is essential for growth and poverty reduction and that the World Bank must do more, and do it more effectively, to support indigenous S&T capacity building efforts 4
Science and technology, including ICT, are vital for the achievement of the development goals …We therefore commit to: …Assist developing countries in their efforts to promote and develop national strategies for human resources and science and technology, which are primary drivers of national capacity building for development… Draft Communique from UN Summit, September 14, 2005 5
The World Bank has only had modest activities in promoting technological innovation in development. The first step would be for the World Bank to integrate technological considerations more fully into their operations. Blair Commission Report 6
World Bank Perspective • S&T Vision Paper presented to Board • Wolfensohn • Wolfowitz also agree with this assessment of the importance of S&T capacity building 7
First of all, I think that sense of assuming responsibility [by developing country governments] is really critical. We often talk about building institutions or building capacity. And my feeling is that sort of suggests you can come in like an outside contractor and bring some bricks and mortar and you construct capacity. It doesn't work that way. You grow it. Its got to be indigenous. It's got to have indigenous roots. You can fertilize it. You can water it. You can rip the weeds out, which I think is part of fighting corruption. Or you can help people do it. But they need to do it themselves. Paul Wolfowitz on capacity building at his first Town Hall Meeting 8
Why Is S&T Capacity Building Important? 9
S&T Seems to be the Answer, But What are the Questions? • Why is S&T important, even for the poorest countries? • How can S&T help to achieve the MDGs? • How can S&T capacity help to increase wealth, improve productivity and alleviate poverty? • What do we mean by S&T capacity building? • What is the role of the World Bank in supporting this capacity building agenda? 10
Why is S&T important, even (or especially) for poorest countries? 11
Critical Lessons • Investing in S&T capacity is not a luxury for the rich; it is an absolute necessity for poor countries that wish to become richer – there is no choice • The time to start investing and building capacity is when you are poor • Countries at different stages of development, and employing different learning strategies, need to invest in different aspects of S&T capacity – plugging in, catching up, innovating: different tasks and challenges for different stages of development 12
There is No Choice: “The world is moving fast…with or without you!” • Increasing globalization: reduction of transportation & communication costs, increasing global information, increasingly mobile FDI. • Rapid pace of technological change and innovation: Half life of technology is getting shorter. Keep up or fall behind – these are the only options • Increasing competition: driven by trade liberalization and increasingly larger players (e. g. , China, Korea, India) plus laggards that want to catch up – Vietnam, Mozambique, Rwanda • Networking and disintegration of production 13

What Do We Mean by S&T Capacity? Parable of the blind men and the elephant. Every perspective is correct, but each provides only a partial view of reality
Five Dimensions of S&T Capacity • National (and local) government capacity to formulate and implement coherent S&T programs and policies Produce new knowledge in universities and research institutes via R&D Import, adapt, and adopt knowledge produced outside the country – “act locally, think globally” Enterprise capacity to utilize modern equipment to produce higher value added, globally competitive goods and services Technologically and scientifically skilled workforce trained to work with modern equipment and production processes 19
Capacity Building Occurs at Different Levels of the Economy • National policy institutions • S&T organizations -- -- universities, public and private R&D institutes/technology diffusion institutions • Enterprises – both users of knowledge and creators of new knowledge • Labor Force 20
S&T Capacity Building: Strategic Policy Options • Creation of new knowledge vs. import adaptation, diffusion, and adoption of knowledge created elsewhere • Enhance supply of knowledge vs. stimulate demand for knowledge • Hardware vs. software • Horizontal policies vs. vertical policies 21
S&T Capacity Building National Policy Making • Fundacion Chile, MOST, • Technology diffusion institutions • Technology Foresight S&T Capacities in Universities and R&D Institutes Enterprises • R&D vs. ERC • Centers of Excellence Labor Force • Vocational training, secondary ed. • Skills Development Centers • Life-long learning Education Sector • Primary education • Secondary education • Higher education • In-house research • Supplier development • Innovation capacity improvement 22
S&T Capacity Building Scientific research Supply • MSI Centers of Excellence • Instrumentation Centers • Higher Education projects/ESW Technology adoption, adaptation, and diffusion • Engineering Research Centers • Technology Transfer and Diffusion Institutes Linkages • Technology consortia • Mobility schemes • Matching grants Demand • Tax incentives for in-house research • Modernization of industrial firms • Industrial labs • Grant programs for industrial research • Agriculture technology projects • Industrial credit lines 23

Levels of Innovation Frontier Innovation Technology Improvement and Monitoring Significant Adaptation Basic Production – use technology 29
Science Development and Creation R&D Design & Engineering Technician & Craft Skills & Capabilities Science Use, Operation and Maintenance Basic Operators Skills and Capabilities (These all need human capacity. ) 30
Enterprise Demand for Technology • Category 1: Demand for existing specifications, equipment, and know-how – new machines • Category 2: Demand for new designs and systems, generated by engineering and other services, but based on existing technology – new processes • Category 3: R&D to create new technology – new inventions 31

Groups of Firms According to Technological Capability 33
• “Everyone can get the same technology. But that doesn’t mean they can make an advanced product” “Samsung’s Perspective, ” Business Week, June 16, 2003 34
Emerging Issue Need to take an inventory of skill requirements, technology demand, and enterprise capacity and improve all dimensions. Bank needs to take the lead – encourage countries to think systematically about these issues 35
Lessons Learned From World Bank Operations (1) • Sustained long-term engagement is required to build both S&T capacity and industrial development capability • Specific investment loans rather than budget support -- hands-on rather than arm’s-length • Focused (vertical) interventions in specific sectors to help local firms build capacity to absorb and adapt existing technology • Many projects (e. g. Korean Institute of Electronics Technology) supported institutionbuilding and strengthened institutes that transferred existing knowledge into local economy. 36
Lessons Learned From World Bank Operations (2) • Comparative advantage is created not given -e. g. , salmon in Chile, electronics in Korea and Taiwan. • World Bank projects and interventions were grounded in each country's own S&T and industrial strategy. PW on capacity building • Explicit learning strategies (learning-by-doing, learning-by-interacting) in targeted areas are as important as general regulatory framework • Developing human capital is an essential prerequisite for S&T capacity building. Nothing else is possible without human capital 37
Conclusions and Challenges (1) • Ability to produce new knowledge (R&D) is important, but ability to absorb and utilize existing knowledge may be even more important at early stages of development – National Systems of Economic Learning and Technology Diffusion. This aspect of capacity building needs to move higher onto the World Bank and international development agenda • Absorptive capacity of enterprises and labor force must be developed – spillovers (from FDI) aren’t automatic -e. g. , enclaves • S&T capacity building policies should be devised within the context of an overall industrial development strategy – not separately 38
Conclusions and Challenges (2) • Policy options shouldn’t be limited by today’s relative factor prices. Singapore 1965 vs. Singapore today. • Getting basics right – rule of law, business climate, etc. -- is absolutely necessary but not sufficient • Goal of universal primary education should be complemented by expanded access to vocational, secondary and tertiary education • Building one excellent institution vs. competition among existing institutions 39
Conclusions and Challenges (3) • A critical challenge is increasing the effective demand for R&D by developing enterprise capacity to innovate and utilize knowledge • Tension between expanding the supply of skilled workers and the private sector’s demand for skilled workers – chicken and egg / brain drain vs. skill shortage, Vietnam (supply with limited demand) vs. Thailand or Malaysia (demand with limited supply) • How firms learn and from whom is a key issue -also how they innovate. Put this in a slide. competitors, suppliers, PRIs, universities, etc. • Freer trade and attracting FDI is necessary but not sufficient – spillovers won’t occur without accompanying capacity building efforts 40
Conclusions and Challenges (4) • Increased spending on education and/or R&D will not improve economic performance if there are poor linkages between research institutes and education sector on the one hand enterprise sector on the other – Russia, Latvia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc. Linkages, quality and relevance are critical • Need for focus and realism – don’t spread resources too thin; develop a few niche areas; today’s comparative advantage vs. tomorrow’s needs; existing strengths vs. new competencies – comparative advantage must be created • Long term vs. short term – need for political commitment since it takes time (> ten years) for capacity building to affect economic development and poverty 41
The Way Forward: Future Agenda 42
Trends in World Bank Lending for S&T Capacity Building • Between 1980 and 2004, $8. 6 billion to S&T activities; $343 million average annual lending for S&T • 9% of projects over the past 25 years provided some support for S&T – But only 2% of projects principally supported S&T – Annual average = 26 S&T projects: 5 major, 21 minor • The Agriculture-Rural Development Sector provided more support for S&T than all other sectors combined • 42 of 75 major non-ag S&T loans went to 7 countries (Korea, China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Chile, Mexico) 43
Capacity building is important and the Bank is being asked to do more, but the Bank has recently been doing less 44

Issues for the World Bank • • No operational home for STI. Sectoral silos, e. g. , Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Vietnam No unified framework to incorporate S&T into operations in all sectors Most PRSPs and CASs don’t mention S&T; those that do give it cursory attention; Bank-IMF instructions for PRSPs do not refer to S&T Many Country Directors and country economists are unsure how to respond to requests for assistance – Is it in the CAS; is it a priority? Is it relevant? Does it divert resources from poverty reduction? Limited country budgets – especially in smaller countries. Leads to large omnibus projects, especially for budget support, while experience shows the need for a larger number of smaller projects. Critical mass in individual countries vs. regional projects – e. g. , AIST Staff are unfamiliar with S&T issues; limited delivery capacity 46
Next Steps for World Bank ØWorld Bank leadership in global S&T capacity building ØWork cross-sectorally ØIncorporate S&T into CSPs, PRSPs, and CEM’s – e. g. , Mozambique, Vietnam (CG) ØIntegrate S&T capacity building into high priority sectors, such as health, agriculture, water, PSD, tertiary education ØWork at the (international) regional level ØForge strong strategic alliances with external partners 47
Initial Work Program • Organizational • Operational • Analytical 48
Organizational • S&T Program Coordinator position established • Internal Advisory Group • Inter-sectoral thematic group – BBLs: AIST, Capacity Building, Learning Strategies, IK, Reverse Pharmacology, pro-poor innovations • Web site – an open source learning tool • Establish closer working relationships with sectoral anchor units and regions where existing relationships are still personal and ad hoc • Forge closer alliances with external partners • Cross support to help TTLs integrate S&T into CASs, PRSPs, environment and health projects, PSD projects, etc. 49
Operational Support • Operational (projects, ESW, TA) activities in Kazakhstan, Latvia, Viet Nam, Mauritius, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Mozambique, Rwanda • Capacity building workshops for TTLs/managers and government officials? 50
Analytical • Typology of countries: (i) based on learning strategies, (ii) template for assessing S&T capacity and (iii) menu of options suitable for each group – available for informal internal discussion with thematic group • Review of recent trends in World Bank lending for S&T -- completed • Review of World Bank lending for S&T capacity building in China, India, Korea, Mexico and Brazil – ongoing • Global Forum on S&T Capacity Building – organized around Spring meetings? – Audience – donors, NGOs, government officials, Bank • • Regional (or sectoral) S&T seminars? Review of DFID S&T strategy Report on pro-poor S&T initiatives? Higher Education/S&T/ICT strategy for Africa ? 51
Parable of the Lion and the Zebra • Lion only has to run faster than the slowest zebra to survive and prosper • Zebra has to run faster than the fastest lion!! To accelerate growth, achieve the MDGs, and reduce poverty, our clients have to build their capacity to run much faster. 52
