Solid, evidence-based analysis provides the foundation for sound industrial policy decisions and strategies. By implementing the right policies and interventions, a country can diversify its productive capacities and enhance the industrial sector’s contribution to the achievement of both local and global development goals.
UNIDO conducts applied research on themes related to its mandate of Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) to foster accelerated industrial development and improved industrial competitiveness to reduce poverty and to contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 9 “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”.
The wide range of industrial policy support and capacity development services UNIDO offers are grounded in empirical evidence and integrate solid research, policy analysis, and reliable and timely statistics. UNIDO’s policy advisory services build on UNIDO’s strategic approach to enhance countries’ technical, policy and normative knowledge base for ISID, strengthen their institutional capacities and advance multi-stakeholder partnerships and industrial cooperation.
