The application of knowledge in engineering drives sustainable social and economic development is vital in addressing basic human needs, poverty reduction, promoting secure and sustainable development, emergency and disaster prevention, response and reconstruction, bridging the knowledge divide and promoting intercultural cooperation. There is increasing concern, however, regarding declining enrolment in engineering and consequences for social and economic development. The overall focus of the Engineering Sciences and Technology programme is on human and institutional capacity building. The programme also aims to enhance the application of engineering to poverty eradication, sustainable social and economic development, other Millennium Development Goals and related priorities for development.
