UNIDO: 'RECOVERY FROM THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS'
United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a
specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development
for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental
sustainability.
The mandate of UNIDO is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition.
UNIDO's vision is a world where economic development is inclusive and sustainable and economic progress is equitable. Therefore, it focuses on three main thematic areas:
Today, the international community needs to rewrite the rules of international financial markets and global business. In order to restore the trust that is fundamental to the functioning of market economies, the international community needs better regulations, better supervision, better corporate governance and better co-ordination. It is essential to find the most productive ways for governments to exit from their massive emergency interventions, introduce fairer social policies, improve competition and invest in innovation.
Dealing with fiscal deficits and unemployment, corruption and tax evasions, while encouraging new sources of sustainable growth is a challenge UNIDO Member States have to meet in Krakow.
