Technology Needs Assessments

The Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) process presents an opportunity for member states to reflect on their needs to achieve their development goals, identify gaps, and suggest technologies needed to address the identified gaps or constraints. The process also provides recommendations on national strategies and policy frameworks needed to achieve the key national priorities and development goals.

To enable operationalization of the recommendations of the TNAs, Technology Implementation Plans (TIPs) will be developed. There are close linkages between the Digital Technology Platform to be managed by the Technology Bank and the findings of the TNA studies. The technology implementation phase will include the identified needs of the LDCs on the Technology Platform.
