XII. TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

This chapter contains three sections: basic data collection, analysis and dissemination; reproductive health research; and social and economic research. The footnote attached to paragraph 12.20, which lists underserved groups, was completely bracketed, as was "indigenous people[s]." The EU felt that the footnote included too many groups. Canada proposed adding language at the beginning of the footnote to read "which could include." This amendment was accepted and the [s] was also deleted at the end of "peoples." In addition, the words "individuals and" were inserted before the word "families" in paragraph 12.20(b), which deals with the use of research findings to improve the formulation of policies, and the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects that improve the welfare of individuals and families.
