Abstract

Abstract The origins of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (‘UNIDO’) can be traced to a series of studies on a programme of rapid industrialization of developing countries that the → United Nations (UN) Secretariat carried out during the early 1950s at the request of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (→ United Nations, Economic and Social Council [ECOSOC]). The latter had been stimulated by a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1951, at its sixth session (→ United Nations, General Assembly). These studies culminated in a programme of work on industrialization and productivity prepared by the UN Secretary-General in 1956 and endorsed the next year by ECOSOC and the UN General Assembly (→ United Nations, Secretary-General).
