Mobilizing resources for sustainable industrial development UNIDO experience Christophe Yvetot UNIDO Resource Mobilization Officer SADC EGM Johannesburg, 6-8 December 2006
UNIDO experience in mobilizing resources for industrial development • 40 years experience in mobilizing resources; • UNIDO ongoing TC programme (US$440 million ) is based on voluntary contributions from donors; • 171 Members States: stimulating dialogue between donors and developing countries; • UNIDO TC Programme: focusing activities on Member States needs.
UNIDO TC programmeStrategic long term vision 2005 • Priorities: • Poverty reduction through productive activities: addressing the cause of poverty, not only the symptoms. Private sector development for growth and employment; • Trade Capacity Building: addressing supply side constraints through quality programmes and through industrial restructuring and up-grading; • Energy and environment: developing energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and encouraging cleaner production • Geographical priority: Africa
European consensus on development 2005 • A common development framework for the EU (EC and 25 Member States) • Priorities: • Trade and regional integration; • Environment and sustainable management of natural resources; • Water and energy; • Rural development; • Social integration and employment; • Geographical priority: Africa
European development financing • Resources for Africa: • European Development Fund: €22,7 billion for 2008-2013 to support African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (ACP); • Additional €2 billion for Trade Related Assistance. • Allocations of resources through negotiations in 2007: • Economic partnership Agreements (EPAs); • Indicative National/Regional Programmes.
UNIDO successful experiences Regional programmes in West Africa • 1st step: UEMOA Quality Programme 2001: €12 million for establishment of regional quality infrastructure (quality, standardization, metrology, certification) including 8 countries. Achieved in January 2006; • 2nd step: ECOWAS Quality Programme (€15 million), including 16 countries. Start first quarter of 2007; • 3rd step: UEMOA industrial restructuring and up-grading programme (€16 million France/AFD). Start first quarter of 2007; • 4th step: ECOWAS industrial restructuring and up-grading programme (under elaboration). Start January 2008.
UNIDO comparative advantage in mobilizing EU resources • Facilitated access to EC financial resources: signature of a Financial and Administrative Framework Agreement (FAFA) with EC in October 2003; • Technical expertise in formulation and implementation of regional industrial development programmes; • Standardized procedures for programme management and for financial and technical reporting; • A methodology: donor engagement at early stage. Programme should be a balance between country/region needs and donor priorities;
UNIDO comparative advantage in mobilizing EU resources • UNIDO is a technical facilitator: dialogue with EC as well as with countries/regional economic communities and ACP Group of States; • UNIDO can mobilize additional resources from EU 25 Member States and non-EU european countries (Switzerland, Norway); • UNIDO has already been invited to participate in EC regional task forces for programming EDF funds for regional programmes in West Africa and Central Africa.
Mobilizing resources for SADCindustrial development • Possible concrete follow-up to SADC EGM: • joint SADC/UNIDO/EC elaboration of an industrial development regional programme (priorities to be identified): first semester of 2007; • joint country/UNIDO/EC elaboration of an industrial development national programme (priorities to be identified): first semester of 2007; • Funds sources: 9th EDF reallocations, 10th EDF regional resources for regional integration and competitiveness, additional resources for trade related assistance
Specific resource mobilization activities at regional level • Suggested activities and schedule: • Official request for a regional programme to be sent by SADC to EC Delegation in Gaborone (for example a regional industrial restructuring and up-grading programme) with UNIDO as executing agency: January 2007; • SADC and UNIDO to coordinate approaches and meet with EC Delegation in Gaborone: last week of January 2007; • If SADC and EC agree on the principle of such a programme: • Joint SADC/UNIDO/EC programme formulation and subsequent implementation.
Specific resource mobilization activities at national level • Suggested activities and schedule: • Official request for a national programme to be sent by countries to respective EC Delegation (for example a national industrial restructuring and up-grading programme) with UNIDO as executing agency: January 2007; • Countries and UNIDO to coordinate approaches and meet with respective Delegation : first quarter of 2007; • If countries and EC agree on the principle of such a programme: • Joint country/UNIDO/EC formulation and implementation of the programme: first semester of 2007;
UNIDO and SADCTowards effective resource mobilization • Clear identification of industrial development programmes • Donor engagement at early stage • Should lead to effective resource mobilization
