United Nations Industrial Development Organization - UNIDO
UNIDO helps developing countries and economies in transition in their fight against marginalization in today's globalized world. It mobilizes knowledge, skills, information and technology to promote productive employment, a competitive economy and a sound environment.  
 
UNIDO's water strategy focuses on promoting sound management of water resources and environmental conservation, maintaining environmental quality and preserving the productivity of river basins, coastal areas and large marine ecosystems, as well as the health and well-being of those populations dependent on and living in them.

UNIDO water-related projects currently include a cleaner production programme for the fishing industry in Chile, the transfer of environmentally sound technology in the Danube River Basin - involving five Central and Eastern.

Areas of expertise:Industrial water pollution control, integrated coastal zone planning and management; control of water pollution by toxic accumulative metals (e.g mercury, arsenic), cleaner production technologies and biodiversity conservation.
