8 “Specialized Databases’ Access and Support – I” DA_08_01 Provision of access to technological knowledge, in the form of specialized patent databases and technical journals, for users in developing countries and LDCs in particular patent offices, to carry out more effective patent searches. The ARDi project, launched in July 2009, is part of this project on assisting countries in establishing Technology and Innovation Support Centers together with a corresponding network. The Access to Research for Development and Innovation (ARDI) program substantially increased content to over 10,000 journals and while the number of institutional users is also growing rapidly. The number of institutional users of the Access to Specialized Patent Information (ASPI) program continues to increase. 35 Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and national networks of Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) have been established. The “eTISC” knowledge management platform () launched and the TISC website substantially renewed. Evaluation Report presented to the ninth session of the Committee (CDIP/9/5) and available at: Regarding the project document, actions for Phase II: (i) Ensure that monitoring and templates are useful for management and decision-making purposes. (ii) Make use of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) performance and outcome indicators to measure the effects of the project including at the level of beneficiaries.

(iv) Plan and put into place monitoring and (self-) evaluations to track impact and longer sustainability in the countries. 9 “IP Database (IPDMD)” DA_09_01 Development of a database and software to establish an effective process for matchmaking between the IP-related development of countries and donors. IP-DMD was officially launched in August 2011. is now ready to “matchmake” the needs of Member States with potential offers.
