The experience of advanced economies suggests that coordinated actions over a period of time are crucial to implement successful initiatives that promote Kbe development. To that end, the following three points are suggested:
1. Establishment and strengthening of knowledge-based economic institutions This could include the establishment of a national committee for providing a vision and implementation plan for Kbe development. a national committee needs to be supported by regional committees with adequate talent and capacities to prepare road maps and initiatives that serve as Kbe processes. Key ministries such as the ministry of educa- tion, ministry of iCT, ministry of research and technology, ministry of home affairs, and other related ministries need to be represented in such a committee that goes beyond the confines of individual ministries and provides a holistic vision for Kbe development. another aspect would be to create a network of Kbe institutions drawing in universi- ties, research institutions, think tanks, scientific bodies, and industry associations. such national networks further need to connect with appropriate international networks in order to draw lessons from international best practice in Kbe development.
2. Action plans for the four pillars of the knowledge economy
Key ministries and institutions need to develop time-bound and costed plans for strengthening the four pillars of the knowledge economy. The report’s many recommendations for action can be considered for developing concrete road maps and incorporating the initiatives within ongoing government programs, yet also linked to an overarching national Kbe development agenda. sufficient allocation of financial and human resources is critical.
3. Monitoring and evaluation of knowledge-based economic development
This entails adequate mechanisms and resources for ongoing monitoring, review, and evaluation of activities and initiatives for Kbe development. Well-structured diagnostic studies and surveys would be required for evidence-based planning and implementation, particularly for analyzing the effectiveness of Kbe investments. establishment of adequate databases, information systems, and a regular reporting mechanism at national and provincial levels will enable the successful tracking of Kbe development efforts.
