The programme’s logic is to treat S&T as cross-cutting infrastructure for competitiveness—supporting productivity in priority sectors and strengthening regional problem-solving capability.

In recent reporting, this work has included regional statistical advocacy and the dissemination of thematic outputs (including climate and COVID-19 related statistical bulletins) to support policy design and monitoring.
