This is done through analytical work, intergovernmental policy dialogue and implementing technical cooperation and training and capacity building programmes.

The Division consists of three Branches and hosts the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology and carries ASYCUDA - UNCTAD´s largest technical cooperation programme.
