Technology is a key input to development, and to sustain it, a sound science base is required. Therefore, a large number of international agencies give science and technology (S&T) aid and assistance to lesser developed nations. They provide this assistance in both narrow focused as well as broad based program activities. Examples of such program types include health, agriculture, infrastructure, economic development, education, and the environment. The primary objective of this project is to assess the available literature to determine the extent of beneficial impacts of this S&T aid assistance on the society and economy of the recipients. Project reports available from the major international donor agencies, electronic data bases, and traditional print sources, representing all of the major world regions (Asia, Africa, Central/South American), and focusing on the program types listed above, will be reviewed and analyzed. the literature reviews, as well as the summary assessment will be structured to include geographic data, planning, objectives, procedure, problems encountered, and evaluation of impact of the project (s) under review. The primary purpose of the research is to identify areas of successful socioeconomic impact from S&T aid assistance programs, areas in which the results have not been as successful, and attempt to identify commonalty among the projects found in the two areas.

技术是发展的关键投入，要维持发展，就必须有健全的科学基础。 因此，许多国际机构向欠发达国家提供科学技术援助。 他们在狭窄的重点以及广泛的方案活动中提供这种援助。 这类计划类型的例子包括卫生、农业、基础设施、经济发展、教育和环境。 该项目的主要目标是评估现有文献，以确定这种科技援助对受援国社会和经济的有益影响程度。 将审查和分析来自主要国际捐助机构、电子数据库和传统印刷资料来源的项目报告，这些报告代表了世界所有主要地区（亚洲、非洲、中美洲/南美洲），并侧重于上文所列的方案类型。 文献审查以及简要评估的结构将包括地理数据、规划、目标、程序、遇到的问题以及对所审查项目影响的评价。 研究的主要目的是确定成功的社会经济影响的领域，从科技援助援助计划，在这些领域的结果并不成功，并试图确定在这两个领域中发现的项目之间的共性。
