Course description |
In this suite of seven lectures, the learner will be introduced to the main thrusts of the Investment Promotion Programme of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The module starts with an overall assessment of the context of investment promotion, in particular that of foreign direct investment (FDI) in today’s globalized world. Tools for data collection of investor information and their presentation through UNIDO’s Investment Monitoring Platform are the subject of the second lecture which provides the wider context for subsequent lectures that focus on the Subcontracting and Partnership Exchange Programme (SPX).
The course highlights the increasing importance of industrial sub-contracting and local-foreign supply chain integration for the organization of effective international production systems. The basic objectives and the key outputs of the SPX (supplier profiling, supplier benchmarking, supplier upgrading, match-making) are introduced and this is complemented by experiences and success stories of existing SPX Centres that UNIDO has established in the past. |
