U UNIDO

UNIDO is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. UNIDO's mandate is to promote and accelerate sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition, and work towards improving living conditions in the world's poorest countries by drawing on its combined global resources and expertise. In recent years, UNIDO has assumed an enhanced role in the global development agenda by focusing its activities on poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. Our services are based on two core functions: as a global forum, we generate and disseminate industry-related knowledge; and as a technical cooperation agency, we provide technical support and implement projects. Today, the Organization is recognized as a highly relevant, efficient and specialized provider of key services in support of the interconnected challenges of poverty reduction activities through productive integration, promoting the global capacity of developing countries in transition, and working towards improving living conditions in the world's poorest countries by drawing on its combined global resources and expertise.
