Report on the work of the industry and housing division

Abstract

In the field of industrial development, emphasis is to be placed on implementation during the United Nations second Development Decade. Implementation of viable industrial projects necessitates more consultations and deeper feasibility studies prior to execution, combined with preparedness on the part of governments concerned to undertake a major role in the execution stage /resolution 203(IX) It is with this intention that industrial development has been and is being approached. Work on the completion of sectoral and inter-industry studies, prerequisites for project implementation, is still continuing and efforts are being made to establish conditions conducive to bringing certain selected projects nearer to implementation. Also, work on the petrochemical paper for UNXDO is in progress.
