DRAFT Talking points for Mr. Carlos Lopes, Executive Secretary of UNECA at the ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review 2013 High Level Panel on Africa and the LDCs on the theme “International cooperation in the development, adoption, transfer and diffusion of technology”. Mr. Lopes on his remarks highlighted that, African economies are growing and the continent is experiencing a commodity boom. As a consequence government revenues are growing both through increased collection of taxes and through increased revenues from commodity exports. How Africa can use its commodities boom to industrialize is the theme of the 2013 ECA/AUC “Economic Report on Africa” entitled “Making the Most of Africa’s Commodities: Industrializing for Growth, Jobs and Economic Transformation.” The scope for international cooperation in the development, adoption, transfer and diffusion of technologies is wider now the stock of STI human resources and research infrastructure has increased as the economies have expanded. In a sense, international cooperation in STI is an increasing function of the complexity of an economy.
