objectives of this programme are:
To d= evelop technically qualified human resources in the IDB member
countries;
To enhance the scientific, technological and research capab= ility and
potential of scholars and researchers in IDB member countries;
To help meet the needs of the IDB member countries in areas = of science and
technology; and

completed in December, 1997, during which time, a total of 93 scholar= s
from35 IDB member countries were selected, or 13 above the initial targe= t

aluation, the second five-year phase was launched, covering a period from 1=
418H-to-1422H (19997-to-2003)
A second evaluation has been condu= cted in April/May 2002 which leads to
thestreamlining and enhancement of t= he Programme in the next phase, which
