SDG-9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and
sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
 Industry and industrialization are recognized as a principal driver
of sustained economic growth and collective wellbeing
 Its strong track record in supporting countries to achieve enhanced
levels of ISID, makes UNIDO a reference institution for the
implementation and monitoring of this goal as well as related
targets
 The link to innovation and infrastructure further strengthens
inclusive and sustainable industrialization as the locomotive of
sustainable development, a dynamic process that entails
entrepreneurship, investment and ingenuity
 The multiplying effect of industrialization on all other areas of
development further compounds UNIDO’s overall contribution to
the achievement of the SDGs at large
ISID – UNIDO’s vision at a glance
ISID enhances and reinforces economic growth and diversification in a socially inclusive
and environmentally sound manner, guided by four overarching principles:
•
No one is left behind in benefiting from industrial growth, and prosperity is shared
among all parts of society in all countries
•
Every country achieves a higher level of industrialization, and benefits from the
globalization of markets for industrial goods and services
•
Broader economic and social progress is supported within an environmentally
sustainable framework
•
New approaches are introduced to harness and share available knowledge,
technology and innovation
