This report covers activities carried out by the Commission in the area of information and science and technology for development since the first meeting of the Committee on Development Information, Science and Technology (CODIST-I). The report includes actions taken as a follow-up to resolutions adopted by CODIST I and other activities considered as being of interest to member States and partners. ECA's work under this area focuses on improving the capacity of African countries to formulate, implement and evaluate national and sectoral ICT, science, technology and innovation (STI) policies, and geo-information strategies for development. Several milestones have been reached in support of the objective since CODIST-1.
