Abstract

The video covers the Globelics conference (2011) which launched the IDRC Innovation for Inclusive Development (IID) programme. IID focuses on innovation in the informal sector of developing country economies, which are often left out of many of the benefits of Science, Technology and Innovation programmes. With few exceptions, most innovations do not improve the lives of the poorest. At the same time, a significant amount of innovative activity takes place in the growing informal sectors that operate outside of formal channels in developing countries.
