The deliverables completed under the project in Rwanda have included the identification of two development needs areas and the preparation of two patent search requests and two patent search reports.
Technology Landscape Reports have also been prepared by the International Expert and the National Expert in close consultation with WIPO which focused on the identification of the most relevant and nearest suitable appropriate technology for each of the identified needs.
Business Plans have also been prepared by an International Consultant in close consultation with the National Expert and WIPO, detailing the implementation of the selected technologies at the national level including sustainability issues and how to ensure the generation of concrete and positive developmental impact from the utilization of the technologies in the short, medium and long term.
The Technology Landscape Reports and Business Plans have also been professionally edited and formatted.
