Eni, UNIDO partner under SDGs with special focus on Africa
Italy’s Eni and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) signed a joint declaration to help attain the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with special focus on Africa.
The cooperation deal leads to setting up a new, pioneering public-private cooperation model aimed at helping reach the SDGs.
Eni and UNIDO will engage in a strategic cooperation focused on areas of common interest such as youth employment, agriculture value chains and renewable energy and energy efficiency, particularly in Africa.
The Eni-UNIDO partnership is expected to yield many more concrete business interactions that will lead to an increasing number of public-private cooperation for Africa’s sustainable industrialization.
“Partnerships between the private and the public sector are crucial to foster development and improve access to energy around the world,” said Claudio Descalzi, Eni’s Chief Executive Officer. “This Joint Declaration underlines our commitment to share know-how, skills and economic resources to become a driving force for the growth of communities and countries where we operate”.
“Establishing multi-stakeholder partnerships is crucial to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”, said UNIDO Director General LI Yong. “UNIDO actively seeks cooperation arrangements with business sector stakeholders, and Eni and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation share our ambition to promote the public-private cooperation approach with additional partners.”
