Ukraine Science, Technology, and Innovation Public Expenditure Analysis
This report is one of four analytical pieces on Ukraine’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem developed by the World Bank’s Ukraine Technical Assistance on Innovation, supported by the Swedish Ukraine Financial and Enterprise Sector Recovery and Growth Trust Fund. This report evaluates the quality mix of public support programs for science, technology, and innovation (STI) in Ukraine and provides recommendations for the improvement of the public support programs’ effectiveness. The evaluation aims to determine the coherence in the allocation of STI expenditures in addressing the main innovation challenges in the country, as well as the main gaps and redundancies. The objective of the review is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of STI public expenditure and maximize impact. The methodology used builds upon the Public Expenditure Reviews (PER) for STI (Correa 2014) and compares the demand for innovation policies arising from an innovation ecosystem diagnostic with the actual expenditure on STI. Given the lack of budget programming, STI expenditure sourced from the BOOST database only approximates actual expenditure due to the lack of budget codes for all STI-related expenditure. The fact that most expenditure is disbursed as block funding reduced the granularity of the analysis. The analysis uncovered significant gaps related to STI policies and revealed general trends in STI expenditure.

| Summary: | This report is one of four analytical
pieces on Ukraine’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem
developed by the World Bank’s Ukraine Technical Assistance
on Innovation, supported by the Swedish Ukraine Financial
and Enterprise Sector Recovery and Growth Trust Fund. This
report evaluates the quality mix of public support programs
for science, technology, and innovation (STI) in Ukraine and
provides recommendations for the improvement of the public
support programs’ effectiveness. The evaluation aims to
determine the coherence in the allocation of STI
expenditures in addressing the main innovation challenges in
the country, as well as the main gaps and redundancies. The
objective of the review is to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of STI public expenditure and maximize impact.
The methodology used builds upon the Public Expenditure
Reviews (PER) for STI (Correa 2014) and compares the demand
for innovation policies arising from an innovation ecosystem
diagnostic with the actual expenditure on STI. Given the
lack of budget programming, STI expenditure sourced from the
BOOST database only approximates actual expenditure due to
the lack of budget codes for all STI-related expenditure.
The fact that most expenditure is disbursed as block funding
reduced the granularity of the analysis. The analysis
uncovered significant gaps related to STI policies and
revealed general trends in STI expenditure. |
