2 Some 40 years ago Many developing countries gain independence, national authorities regain legitimate control over domestic resources, charter a new course of economic progress. Global political uncertainty - the world divided by the Cold War. Growing reliance on local assets; manufacturing seen as a key vehicle of economic development. Transformation of minerals and agricultural crops creates value, generates employment, foreign exchange, supplies local markets with consumer goods. A dedicated UN Agency - a unique neutral access to foreign technology and know-how, with unrivalled technical competence and global experience.
3 Industry – A Path Out Of PovertyFree markets, regulation? No growth without industrialization Fast growing countries have fast growing manufacturing sectors Structural change – shift of resources from low to high productivity sectors Driver of growth – industry often the high-productivity sector UNIDO research: growth has lagged in countries that have not shifted capital, labor from low to high-productivity sectors Industry matters for MDGs: it fills the gap between the required and the actual growth rate
4 History 1961 Centre for Industrial Development created within the Department of Economic and Social Affairs 1966 UN General Assembly Resolution 2152 establishes UNIDO as an autonomous body, to “promote and accelerate the industrialization of the developing countries” 1985 UNIDO becomes a specialized agency of the United Nations - with its own constitution, member states, policymaking organs, executive head, and a regular budget
5 The Organization todayUNIDO’s mandate is to promote sustainable industrial development UNIDO is the only UN specialized agency promoting the creation of wealth and tackling poverty through industry/manufacturing
6 Reconfirmed for a second four-year term in officeUNIDO Director-General Kandeh K. Yumkella (Sierra Leone) appointed in 2005 Reconfirmed for a second four-year term in office December 2009 “In today’s knowledge economy, it is not just the nuts and bolts at the country level that matter. We must move upstream to be part of the global debate. We must give countries the opportunity to express their views on industry, and help them to frame the policies they need for equitable growth.” Yumkella
7 Governing bodies 173 Member States (as of 3 December 2008)Meet every two years at the General Conference, UNIDO’s supreme governing body (determines guiding principles/policies, approves budget, work programme, appoints Director-General) GC elects representatives to the 53 seats on the Industrial Development Board and to the 27 seats on the Programme and Budget Committee
8 Three inter-related thematic prioritiesPoverty reduction through productive activities Trade capacity building Energy and Environment
9 TC Delivery Assistance delivered through two core functions:- As a global forum, UNIDO generates and disseminates knowledge related to industry and provides a platform to enhance cooperation, establish dialogue and develop partnerships - As a technical cooperation agency, UNIDO designs/implements programmes to support its clients. It also offers tailor-made specialized programme development support
10 Poverty reduction through productive activitiesKey approach: Empowerment of the poor through productive activities, job creation and income generation
11 Poverty reduction through productive activitiesProgrammes: - SME cluster development - Local-market agro-based industries - Post-harvest processing - Rural development - Women in development - Rural energy combined with productive activities - Linking small with large companies
12 Poverty reduction through productive activitiesGhazni and Heart provinces - service delivery flow of US $ 6 million per year. In the field of agri-based industries (food processing, textiles industry: especially cotton, wool, carpets) UNIDO TC assistance on private sector development, industrial competitiveness, trade capacity building, renewable energy for productive activities.
13 Poverty reduction through productive activitiesFrom housewife to entrepreneur to millionaire, by being trained by UNIDO’s Investment and Technology Promotion Office President George W. Bush described her at the World Economic Forum (Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt) as an inspiring example for the whole region. “I would not have become what I am today without the support of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization… I now own five companies with 15 different activities, and they have a capital of $12 million and employ 75 people.” Bahraini entrepreneur Huda Janahi
14 Poverty reduction through productive activitiesRefurbishing computers for SMEs in Uganda Small and medium businesses in less developed countries lack access to hardware and software to leverage the benefits of information and communication technology. UNIDO and Microsoft work together to address this need, and to extend the useful life of PCs. Give people the right tools, empower them with the right knowledge and provide them with the right opportunity and they will build their own futures
15 Trade capacity buildingCompete: remove supply side constraints and increase the competitiveness of the industrial sector. Conform: enable products to conform to market requirements (standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures) and overcome barriers to trade. Connect: enable producers to connect with the market and foster integration in the multilateral trading system.
16 Trade capacity buildingLake Victoria (shared by Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya) Revenues from fish exports over US$ 200 million/year, half a million people live of the trade EU export ban imposed, exports from Uganda alone drop by 50% => UNIDO helped introduce reliable production safety system, appropriate fish handling (fish icing and boxing), inspection guides
17 Trade capacity building“Farm to fork” Improving quality and standardization (on institutional and enterprise level) to help developing countries enter global food value chains. UNIDO's Egyptian Traceability Centre for Agro-Industrial Exports (ETRACE) ensures that food products are safe for consumption and suited for export. ETRACE helps farmers and producers comply with international quality, safety and traceability standards and regulations.
18 Energy and environmentKey approach: - Prevent production of industrial wastes - Manage waste in an environmentally sound manner - De-link the intensity of energy use from economic growth - Reduce the environmental impact of energy use - Provide energy for the promotion of productive activities
19 Energy and environmentLighting Up Kenya UNIDO has committed EUR 1.5 million to a green energy project called Lighting Up Kenya to generate additional power for the country via solar energy, biomass, wind and biogas.
20 Energy and environmentUNIDO implemented a US$ 8 million project in China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the township and village enterprises sector. Increasing the utilization of energy efficient technologies and products in the brick, cement, metal casting and coking sectors. Result: Greenhouse gas reduction of 1 million CO2 per year (including the 110 plants where the technology developed for the cement, brick, coking and foundry sectors was replicated).
21 Energy and environmentUNIDO International Solar Energy Centre. Located in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, it has 10 laboratories and 100 scientists, experts and researchers from around the world. Helps develop and upgrade solar energy technologies, establish standards for solar technologies and products and promote international cooperation. The lighting, heating and hot water systems are all operated using the sun’s power.
22 Energy and environmentEnvironment Programmes: - Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer - Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and international waters - Cleaner Production Centres (with UNEP)
