Organizational Context:

The United
Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized United Nations organization that promotes
inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing and emerging economies.
UNIDO aspires to reduce poverty through industrialization that benefits
all and respects environmental limits. UNIDO’s vision is that every country has the opportunity
to grow a flourishing productive sector, increase participation in international
trade and safeguard the natural environment. UNIDO’s key programmes are aimed at poverty
reduction through productive capacity building; trade capacity building; and sustainable
production and industrial resource efficiency (www.unido.org).

UNIDO
implements the global Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP)
Programme (www.unido.org/cp) in close cooperation with the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). RECP concerns the
application of preventive environmental techniques and productivity practices with the
triple aim of improving the productive use of materials, energy and water; reducing the intensity
of generation of wastes and emissions; and supporting human development (in particular
through improved occupational, community and consumers’ health and safety). The
global Programme builds upon the achievements in establishing National Cleaner
Production Centres since 1995 in a total of over 55 developing and transition countries (www.unido.org/cp). A global network of qualifying
NCPCs and other RECP service
providers (RECPnet) has been established to foster knowledge management
and

innovation,
networking and peer-learning, quality control and branding (www.recpnet.org).
