INDUSTR Y
INDUSTRY: A DRIVER
The Lima Declaration, adopted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization’s (UNIDO) member states in 2013, emphasizes: “…industrialization is a driver of development. Industry increases productivity, and job creation and generates income, thereby contributing to poverty eradication and addressing other development goals, as well as providing opportunities for social inclusion, including gender equality, empowering women and girls and creating decent employment for youth. As industry develops, it drives an increase of value addition and enhances the application of science, technology and innovation, therefore encouraging greater investment in skills and education, and thus providing the resources to meet broader, inclusive and sustainable development objectives.”
The United Nations’ Report of the Secretary- General, The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2018 notes steady progress in the manufacturing industry. To achieve inclusive and sustainable industrialization, it is stated, competitive economic forces need to be unleashed to generate employment and income, facilitate international trade and enable the efficient use of resources.
