The short answer.
Innovation Nexus country programmes are listed one by one, each country with a programme record showing its work on innovation and its status. A country appears only when such a record exists; national institutions lead under country ownership, and the platform supplies evidence and methods.
Scoping to review.

Work is shown as its record stands.
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| National Nexus Consortium | In the Consortium's national model, the body through which a country's institutions take part in Nexus work, formed under a national record with its own leadership and working groups. |
| Programme status | The recorded state of a programme on Nexus pages: exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. A plan is never presented as an activity. |
