The amount identified may result in an underestimation of total support to STI as individual projects or programmes not captured in detail in the budget, may include STI-related components. In addition, a budget view of STI-related ODA would not necessarily allow for disaggregation of activities by recipient country or type of aid, thus making ODA to STI not comparable to other cross-cutting themes and measures. It may also be difficult to properly assess the amount of ODA that supports STI from a developing country perspective.
