Partner for Prosperity

Our long-term vision is to aspire to a world of opportunity where progress is equitable, accessible and sustainable and where the alleviation of poverty is considered a common aim and global responsibility. UNIDO’ s role is that of an informed institution, in tune with the goals of its partners and capable of making an effective contribution to industrial development and sustainable development.
UNIDO in South Africa is currently contracted to the Department of Trade and Industry( the DTi) to implement a series of tools and initiatives to align local suppliers with buyer networks in support of government localisation policies. The tools include supplier profiling, benchmarking, supplier capacity building and matchmaking.
