UNIDO's technical expertise in promoting socio-economic development and environmental protection in its Member States is best demonstrated through its support in formulating and implementing sustainable industrial policies, strategies, visions, and plans. This strategic approach has enabled UNIDO to identify key thematic areas and functions that enhance its engagement with Member States beyond traditional technical cooperation. These include providing analytical and policy inputs to national agendas for sustainable industrial development, offering technical advice for the development and implementation of industrial norms and standards, and organizing global forums and seminars to raise awareness among policymakers and the private sector.
