Building a Better World: UNIDO Champions Quality and Standards for Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is proud to announce the launch of its new brochure, "Quality as a Compass: Navigating to the SDGs." This comprehensive publication highlights the crucial role of quality and standards in advancing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing examples from the Global Quality and Standards Programme (GQSP), a joint initiative by UNIDO and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).

The publication serves as a testament to the power of quality and standards in driving sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of quality infrastructure in fostering economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social progress. By showcasing real-world examples, UNIDO hopes to inspire further action and collaboration towards achieving the SDGs by 2030.

The Global Quality and Standards Programme, operational since 2017, aims to improve livelihoods, generate employment, and advance the SDGs by boosting SMEs' international competitiveness and export potential.
