The National Council of Science and Technology (CONICYT) of the Vice-Presidency of the Republic of Nicaragua, in collaboration with the UNDP Office, the UNIFEM-MyDel Programme and the IDEASS International Secretary are coordinating the production of the National Catalogue of Innovations for Human Development of Nicaragua. The Catalogue is realized producing, with the collaboration of the respective authors, the brochures of the innovations awarded in the various editions of National Contests organized by the CONICYT. The innovations, related to issues of greatest impact, will be promoted in the country by CONICYT and UNDP, to foster the use of methodologies and technologies at the national level. Some of the innovations in the National Catalogue are also part of the IDEASS International Catalogue, thanks to the interest raised in other countries and to their transfer potential.
