Abstract:

Need additional funding to encourage technology and innovation addressing development goals. Options to increase funding include taxes on financial transactions and greenhouse emissions and withdrawing funds from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). If financial assistance for innovation is avaliable, new international policies and restrictions will need to be developed. International programmes cannot clash with national ideals and institutions in developing countries.
