The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a
specialized agency of the United Nations, whose mandate is:
i. to promote and accelerate sustainable industrial development in developing
countries and economies in transition;
ii. to 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 three thematic priorities:
1) POVERTY REDUCTION THROUGH PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES
2) TRADE CAPACITY BUILDING
