UNIDO's Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) Programme
Vision and mission of the Programme
In Latin America, growing trade and investment opportunities have resulted in a steady economic growth and expanded opportunities for revenue enhancement, employment and welfare generation.
UNIDO's Regional Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean is in charge of promoting industrial development in the region. UNIDO acts as a catalyst, helping to generate national economic wealth and raise industrial capacity through its role as a global forum for industrial development, and as a provider of technical cooperation services.
Accordingly to its core functions and services, UNIDO harnesses governments and private sectors to foster competitive industrial production, develop international industrial partnerships and promote socially equitable and environmentally friendly industrial production.
The objective of the Programme is to optimize the technical cooperation delivered to countries of the LAC region, through consensual identification, formulation, implementation and follow-up of technical cooperation activities, including resource mobilization.
