UNESCO science report: towards 2030

One of the key findings of the UNESCO science report: towards 2030 is that "there are fewer grounds today than in the past to deplore a North–South divide in research and innovation." 

"Written by about 60 experts who are each covering the country or region from which they hail, the UNESCO Science Report: towards 2030 provides more country-level information than ever before. The trends and developments in science, technology and innovation policy and governance between 2009 and mid-2015 described here provide essential baseline information on the concerns and priorities of countries that should orient the implementation and drive the assessment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the years to come."
