Purpose Innovation is a fundamental element for developing countries’ development. For instance, the innovation process should be integral to a country’s development plan for it to achieve high standard socio-economic development. For this reason, the global development agenda in the contemporary era underline innovation as a crucial issue to be addressed within development assistance programs. The Global North as traditional donors predominantly contend that innovation should be supported by high private sector development (PSD), and therefore, emphasizes this agenda to be delivered through their foreign aid schemes. However, this character differs considerably as compared to new emerging donors with insufficient PSD capacity, such as Indonesia. This paper aims to examine Indonesia’s technical assistance (TAC) to Timor-Leste and scrutinizes whether or not it supports the innovation development of the receiving country. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative method by conducting a literature review, document tracing and depth interview with Indonesia’s South–South Cooperation National Coordinating Team. Findings Based on this study, it can be proven that Indonesia’s TAC has the ability to support innovation development in Timor-Leste as a least developed country. This is because Indonesia’s TAC is directed toward knowledge sharing and technology transfer that are needed by Timor-Leste. Other supporting conditions, such as similarity in the process of development, shared principles and solidarity ties among developing countries, have also created a more decent environment for aid delivery. Thus, aid initiatives among developing countries must remain to be supported as key to attain mutual progress and collective self-reliance. Originality/value This study shows that Indonesia as an emerging economic has the capability to support innovation development of other developing countries. It was a new area of study but has a lot of potential to be explored such as effectiveness and interests.

Number Of Factors

Since World War II there has been a great increase in the number of United States medical personnel working in the socalled "underdeveloped" areas of the world. This expansion in the delivery of scientific medicine is caused by a number of factors. Prominent among these are the great increase in military bases in foreign countries, where the doctors and nurses frequently treat native civilian personnel as well as U.S. troops, and to United States participation in international health programs such as the Pan-American Sanitary Bureau, International Cooperation Administration and other technical assistance programs.

Set Up

This article considers the links between development programs and policies set up by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the actions and positions of Christian missions. It aims at understanding how and why the ILO and missions got in touch in the mid-1920s. Then it examines how these relations strengthened up to the beginning of the 1970s, at first for the elaboration of international labour standards, and later as part of technical assistance programs.

Multiple Linear Regression Models

The technical assistance programs have the purpose of transferring knowledge to the Agricultural Production Units -UPA- for their efficient development. However, this knowledge transfer in many cases is not effective, having little influence on the UPAS. In this sense, this article aims to assess the impact that technical assistance programs have had on the performance of UPAs at the regional level by making comparisons between regions. Through multiple linear regression models, the degree of influence of different technical assistance programs on the performance of agricultural production units will be established. The results show that in general these programs have had little impact on the performance of the UPA for each region analyzed.
