United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), established on the 8th of April 1979, is a UN Organisation primarily associated with Sustainable Development Goal 9, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and is dedicated to promoting and accelerating inclusive and sustainable industrial development in the Member States. The Organisation has four focal points which are creating shared prosperity, advancing economic competitiveness, safeguarding the environment, and strengthening knowledge and institutions.

UNIDO assists Latin America and the Caribbean in achieving inclusive and sustainable industrial development through increased competitiveness and the pursuit of a just transition by working with national governments and regional partners to improve industrial competitiveness, foster the use of renewable energy sources, pursue circular economy solutions, and improve value chains for agribusinesses and manufacturers. UNIDO also promotes clean technologies, digital transformation of MSMEs, and industrial decarbonization. The office achieves its objectives through its three sub-regional offices, four country offices, and Global Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Hub.
