On-line presentation of integrated programmes	26 slides explain in brief the challenge, methodology development, country objectives, UNIDO role, advantages, requirements, formulation process, programme structure and more....

  Integrated programmes are packages of mutually supportive service modules designed to help overcome the critical industrial development problems of a country at the national level or those of a particular geographic area within a country.

  Integrated programmes are complex undertakings that require careful preparation. The decision to proceed with their development depends on a number of factors, ranging from the number and type of requests received to the presence of a UNIDO representative and any political commitments made. Special consideration must be given to the funding potential, the number of prospective counterparts and the consistency of their aims. Furthermore, UNIDO should ensure that its programming efforts are coordinated with those of the United Nations system - e.g. the Common Country Assessment (CCA) and United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), development finance institutions, bilateral and multilateral donors and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

  When a country expresses interest in an integrated programme, it may be appropriate to start with a briefing on the UNIDO approach in order to ensure a common understanding on:

• The benefits and demands of integration
• The importance of ownership and commitment at the country level
• The type of programme which is most appropriate to the country

  Selectivity is needed in order to make the best use of the limited resources available and to channel UNIDO services towards those areas where they can produce a multiplier effect and lead to a greater impact. This implies that (a) the country should carefully define the objective(s) it wants UNIDO to support and (b) UNIDO should concentrate its assistance on building up and adding value to the country's efforts.

  Ideally, an integrated programme should do the following:

• Focus on the critical problems that constrain the achievement of the country's industrial objectives
• Seek out areas where UNIDO assistance could have a catalytic or multiplier effect
• Look for synergy with United Nations and other external aid programmes
• Aim at a reasonable balance among economic, social and environmental considerations
