Vietnam and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) have signed a new Country Program for Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development for 2025–2028, marking a further step in their long-standing partnership.
The agreement was signed on April 20 in Hanoi by the Ministry of Finance and UNIDO.
With an estimated budget of $72 million, the program focuses on green industrial transformation, strengthening competitiveness and sustainable value chains, and improving industrial policies and institutions.
Since the official establishment of the partnership, UNIDO has collaborated with Vietnam to implement over 170 projects since 1978 in areas such as small and medium-sized enterprise development, quality infrastructure, energy efficiency, clean production, and sustainable supply chains. Based on this, within the framework of the new program, cooperation between the two parties will continue to be expanded through comprehensive intervention programs and activities, combining policy advice, technical support, and investment mobilization. The program is expected to open up new cooperation opportunities in the field of agricultural processing, particularly for value chains with potential such as rice and tea, focusing on value addition, meeting sustainable standards, enhancing resilience to climate change, and improving livelihoods in rural areas.
