Notes:

The Commission on Science and Technology for Development is a functional Commission of the Economic and Social Council. Since July 1993, the UNCTAD Secretariat has been responsible for the substantive servicing of the Commission.

The Commission was created by ECOSOC in 1992 to give high-quality advice on Science and Technology to the GA and ECOSOC, and to serve as a forum to discuss and advance understanding on emerging science and technology issues.

The Commission focuses on issues of transfer of technology and capacity-building.
