developing countries and economies in transition.

UNIDO: Facing the Future
AREAS OF OPPORTUNITIES:
• A long-standing skepticism among some developed donors has never
gone away, based as much on ideology as on performance – which largely
explains the absence from its membership today of the United States,
Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
«UNIDO will find it hard to win the ideological argument».
• Shrinking UNIDO’s role
UNIDO should continue to burnish its appeal as a development partner by
emphasizing the importance of those activities where free market forces
are unhelpful to the industrialization process, and where a neutral public
organization can add unique value.
• UNIDO faces growing competition from other development organizations,
especially from the private sector.
• Quality and quantity of projects

UNIDO: Facing the Future
AREAS OF OPPORTUNITIES:
UNIDO can best extend its reach through networking rather than physical
presence.
E-learning is an under-exploited medium. UNIDO should be more like an
interactive learning organization.
