Description: "Prepared ... in response to a request from the World Bank; [t]he concept of a knowledge assessment arose during the course of a symposium on the topic Marshaling Technology for Development, sponsored jointly by the World Bank and the National Research Council in November 1994. In order to explore the justification and usefulness of a knowledge assessment, the committee held one meeting in April 1996, and this prospectus describes the conclusions and recommendations of that meeting."--Exec. summary.
