included a direction for the Chair of the Commission on Science and
Technology for Development (CSTD) to "establish a working group to develop
recommendations on how to further implement enhanced cooperation as
envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” . This will continue work done by an
earlier CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, that was active from
2013-2014. and current CSTD Chair, Peter Major of Hungary,
has indicated that he will establish the new working group in a similar
fashion, with 20 UN Member States and 5 representatives from each of the
four identified stakeholder groups (business, civil society,
intergovernmental organizations, the technical & academic community).
