This report responds to Sida’s request for a strategic evaluation of its portfolio of innovation-related contributions to research cooperation. This request emerged in an environment of growing:
 

• Attention to innovation systems and clusters and their role in developing and low-income countries;

• Recognition of the importance of innovation to economic growth and poverty reduction;

• Attention to the role of research and knowledge; and

• Interest in the more central role universities could play in this context.
