The 20th General Conference of UNIDO in Vienna, Austria, this Saturday, overwhelmingly adopted a resolution on “strengthening member States’ capacities in developing productive, resilient and sustainable supply chains,” which was proposed by Bangladesh.
According to a news statement from the foreign ministry, participants in this week-long conference include heads of state, ministers, and high-level delegations from 172 UNIDO member states.
It further stated that the global supply chain was severely disrupted by the covid epidemic and the conflict in Ukraine, which had an impact on global manufacturers, businesses, and consumers.
This resolution would allow UNIDO to help countries and economies to promote supply chain resilience and thus prepare them for any such future situation.
The resolution will also foster the necessary dialogue among relevant stakeholders and delivering concrete actions to ensure the sustainability, resilience, and productivity of global and regional supply chains, with a specific emphasis on supporting producer countries and suppliers.
This resolution will enable UNIDO in capacity building to ensure their fair participation in the supply chain, by equitable profit sharing among all the stakeholders which will contribute to secure fair price, skill and knowledge transfer, access to market and technology, and productivity to the participating firms from the developing countries.
