    • DOST Medium-Term Plan (DMTP) 1999-2004
    • National Science & Technology Plan (NSTP) 2002-2020

    ### Science and Technology Master Plan (STMP) 1991-2000

    • The STMP was a 10-year plan formulated during President Aquino's administration.
    • The STMP was the first attempt by the Philippine government (specifically the DOST) to create a comprehensive and long-term science and technology plan.
    • The plan identified issues plaguing Philippine science and technology:
      • low investment in research and development (R&D)
      • poor science and technology education
      • a lack of private sector participation in R&D
      • inadequate attention to market demand for R&D and innovation
      • lack of technology transfer and commercialization

      • global technological searches to attract expatriate scientists
      • greater private sector involvement in R&D
      • closer collaboration among the private sector, academia, and the government.

    ### Science and Technology Master Plan (STMP) 1991-2000 (cont.)

    • While the programs in the STMP were sound, the resources to implement them were lacking, and the targets appeared optimistic.

    ### Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND) 1993-1998

    • STAND was a medium-term science and technology plan developed under President Ramos ( 1993-1998).
    • STAND employed a strategy of targeting specific industries as “export winners”.

    ### Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND) 1993-1998 (cont.)

      • ornamental and horticulture products

    ### Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND) 1993-1998 (cont.)

    • STAND may have targeted too many industries, spreading scarce public and private resources thinly.
    • The industry selection process was not based on objective criteria, making it less effective and susceptible to special interest influence.

    ### DOST Medium-Term Plan (DMTP) 1999-2004

    • The DMTP for 1999-2004 was primarily a departmental plan of the DOST.
    • It was more limited in scope than previous plans.
    • The DMTP sought to avoid "picking winners" by focusing on a few “flagship programs” while maintaining regular programs.

    ### DOST Medium-Term Plan (DMTP) 1999-2004 (cont.)

    • The DMTP struggled to balance the need for long-term development of the country's science and technology infrastructure against the need to address poverty alleviation.

    ### National Science & Technology Plan 2002-2020 (NSTP 2020)

    • The NSTP 2020 is a long-term plan that sets the direction for science and technology development in the Philippines for 18 years.
    • The plan reflects the S&T community's response to national leadership's call for science and technology to be the foundation of economic development.
