Industrialization is the core driver of transformational change towards the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. Hence, tracking and understanding progress on SDG-9 is critical. UNIDO’s mission to accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) around the world needs reliable statistics, data, and analysis.

Training is tailored to support capacity building on industrial policy and the use of data on the IAP. The innovative IAP tools use available and existing data to enable stakeholders to monitor performance and progress across manufacturing industries worldwide, while also raising awareness of the data gaps which must be addressed.
The IAP tools are:

  • The SDG-9 Industry Tracker: Explore progress toward achieving industrial development targets.
  • The Production Tracker: Explore manufacturing performance across economies and industries.
  • The Competitive Industries Tool: Analyse the exports of different manufacturing industries.
  • The Value Chains Tool: Assess how local production is integrated into global value chains.

The IAP online data platform is however freely accessible at https://iap.unido.org/

Target Audience

  • Governments, regulators and other policymakers
  • Academics and the wider research community
  • Industrial development practitioners

Learning Objectives

The IAP serves as an easily accessible innovative data tool that can be used by a wide range of stakeholders to better understand various dimensions of industrial development around the globe. The IAP aims to facilitate and enhance the conduct of in-class capacity-building activities by UNIDO and its partners.
