| Description |
BOSTID (Board on Science and Technology for International Development), a division of the US Office of International Affairs was established in 1969. It is responsible for programmes with developing countries. The Board examines ways of applying science and technology to problems of economic and social development, through overseas programmes, studies, advisory committees and other mechanisms. BOSTID participants work with counterpart groups in developing countries to strengthen local scientific and technological capacities related to agriculture, environmental planning, energy, forestry, health, natural resource management and conservation, nutrition, water supply and quality, and other areas. Studies examine specific development problems and suggest possible scientific and technical solutions. In addition BOSTID publishes 'BOSTID Developments' three times a year. This is available free to researchers and officials in developing countries and to members of national and international development communities. BOSTID reports are sponsored by the US Agency for International Development and are distributed free of charge, primarily to readers in developing countries.
