1 UNIDO PARTNER FOR PROSPERITY Klaus BILLAND Senior Coordinator for UN System Coherence February 2011

2 Key Facts Established in 1966, Specialized Agency since 1985 Lead role within UN system on industrial development Constitutional mandate to promote sustainable industrial development in developing countries and countries in transition UNIDO is the only UN specialized agency promoting the creation of wealth and tackling poverty through industry/manufacturing

3 Three inter-related thematic priorities Poverty reduction through productive activities Trade capacity building Energy and Environment

4 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 tailormade specialized programme development support (experience gained in the technical cooperation is shared with policy makers; UNIDO's analytical work helps define priorities)

5 Key Figures Staff on board (non-project): HQ: 547 (Dec. 2010) Field: 134 Total: 681 Budget : (regular + operational, ) 175 m Technical cooperation delivery: $153.5m (2010) Project expert appointments: 3,349 (in 2010, about half from developing countries)

6 Governance structure Three policy-making organs: General Conference (GC) All 172 Member States once every two years (normally in December) approves the budget and work programme appoints the Director- General Industrial Development Board (IDB) 53 Member States once in General Conference years, twice in other years reviews the implementation of the work programme and the budget makes recommendations to the General Conference on policy matters, including the appointment of the Director- General Programme and Budget Committee (PBC) 27 Member States once a year assists the IDB in the preparation and the examination of the work programme, the budget and other financial matters

7 UNIDO programme Components Bilateral Programme prprogrammes Multilateral Programmes One UN Programme UNDAF SYNERGY/ COHERENCE WITH EXTERNAL AID Seek coherence with UN organizations and with other multilateral and bilateral donors and NGOs IN-HOUSE INTEGRATION Reflect the collective experience of the Organization through optimal combination of programme components UNIDO Programme INTEGRATION WITH THE COUNTRY S EFFORTS (I) Build up and add value to the policies, strategies, programmes and actions implemented by the country (Ii) Address the critical factors that affect industry s efficiency, competitiveness and environmental impact Country industrial development efforts UNIDO helps the Government formulate and implement policies and strategies through: Advice Capacity building Information Reserach/Assessment/Analysis Policy and Strategy Support Institutions and Programmes UNIDO helps fill the gaps in the country s programmes through: Institution (Public/Private) building / strengthening Capacity building/strengthening Advice Pilot and demonstration activities Enterprise support services UNIDO normally supports enterprises indirectly through local sectoral chambers or technical institutions/agencies UNIDO helps a country fine-tune its sustainable industrial development objectives in relation to national potentials and international trends (MDGs, etc.) Country Sustainable Industrial Development Objectives Overall Development Goals

8 Poverty Reduction through productive activities Trade Capacity-building Energy and Environment Industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability Cross-cutting dimensions Capacity development Technology transfer Policy and institutional support Gender Growth Competitiveness Wealth creation Sustainability Three major crossorganizational initiatives Industrial upgrading and competitiveness Green Industry South-South cooperation 8

9 Millennium Development Goals UNIDO s roll mainly in: GOAL 1 ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY & HUNGER GOAL 3 PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN GOAL 7 ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY GOAL 8 DEVELOP A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT

10 Poverty reduction through productive activities Key approach: Empowerment of the poor through productive activities, job creation and income generation Programmes: 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

11 Poverty reduction through productive activities Ghazni and Heart provinces - service delivery flow of US$6m per year. For agro-industries (food processing, textile industry: especially cotton, wool, carpets), private sector development (PSD), industrial competitiveness, trade capacity building, renewable energy for productive activities.

12 Poverty reduction through productive activities Refurbishing 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

13 Trade capacity building: UNIDO 3Cs Approach Delivered in the Context of One-UN One-UNIDO Selecting sectors having best potential for export Supporting value addition (Technology, Investment) Promoting SME development (Cluster, Export Consortia) Supporting standards and quality compliance Ensuring sustainable industrial development (Energy, Environment)

14 Energy and environment Key approach: Prevent production of industrial waste 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 Programmes: Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and international waters Cleaner and Sustainable Production (with UNEP) Industrial Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (also carbon emissions) Rural (renewable) energy for SMEs Water Management DG was appointed Chair of UN Energy in 2008 (20 UN agencies, funds and programmes, mechanism for coordination and greater coherence of action on energy)

15 Energy and environment UNIDO has committed 1.5m to a green energy project called Lighting Up Kenya to generate additional power for the country via solar energy, biomass, wind and biogas. (100MW of power will be added to the national grid to reduce cost of doing business)

16 Energy and environment UNIDO implemented a US$8m project in China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the township and village enterprises sectors. 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 CO 2 p.a. (including the 110 plants where the technology developed for the cement, brick, coking and foundry sectors was replicated).

17 Energy and environment 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.

18 Cooperation with other key players UNDP, UNEP, FAO, UNODC, WTO, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), United Nations Global Compact, New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) LDC Plan of Action, Action Plan for Accelerated Industrial Development of Africa (AIDA) and Abuja Declaration 2010 Strategic cooperation under negotiation with ILO, IAEA, UNESCO UNIDO actively participates in UN reform on System-wide Coherence (SWC) and implementation of the Delivering as One initiative at the country level

19 UNIDO experience in UN system & DaO UNIDO activities included in One Programmes of all 8 DaO pilot countries Increased recognition of productive activities for poverty reduction and trade capacity building in UNDAFs and One Programmes CCA/UNDAF/DaO Support Programme to finance national expertise to support UNIDO field offices and UNCTs Enhanced UNIDO involvement led to: Positive statements from DSG, Co-chairs of the UNGA consultations on SWC, gov. officials of pilot countries and aid agencies Commendations from CEB and HLCP Increased recognition of role of UNIDO in UNDG Positive comments by UN executive heads and senior UN officials
