In any value chain, actors must always consider end-market

requirements in terms of the process, product, quality and safety
(TBT and SPS measures).

UNIDO Approach
TCB provides support for the development of a sustainable and
targeted quality infrastructure that ensures competent institutions
and guarantees that all processes and products along the value chain
conform to international standards and regulations.
UNIDO’s quality value chain approach ensures that all stakeholders
benefit from value chain development at each stage of the chain. The
best examples of successful programmes addressing the issue of

Safe Food for Better Business – Partnering with the GFSI
 GFSI was launched as a non-profit making
foundation in 2000, to achieve
harmonisation of food safety standards
that would drive reduce audit duplication
throughout the supply chain. GFSI
therefore chose to go down the route of
benchmarking, developing a model that
determines equivalency between existing
food safety scheme.
 In 2008, the GFSI recognised that small
and/or less developed businesses would
benefit significantly from a programme
that would assist them through a
continuous improvement process to develop
to the point where the implementation of
a GFSI recognised food safety management
scheme could be considered.
 Global Market Programme was designed as 9a

Energy Management Standards

 Increased competitiveness for industry

 Policy-driven market based tool
Relevance  Voluntary nature
 Facilitates international trade
 Improves market access
ISO 50001 as a tool for policymakers promoting EE
measures
 Market tool: ISO 50001 expected to achieve long-
term increases in energy efficiency > 20% or more
in industrial, commercial, and institutional
facilities
Flagship  Competitiveness: US Superior Energy Performance
Example experience in industrial facilities achieved
energy performance improvements between 6.5 - 17 %
percent over a period 2-3 years
 Voluntary: The Dutch Long-Term Agreements observed
energy savings, which was a 50% increase over
historical autonomous energy efficiency rates in
the Netherlands prior to the agreements
11
 Enhancing sustainable tourism in Lao PDR
Establishment of the “Luang Prabang Safe and
Green Tourism” Scheme
 Promote sustainable tourism principles and
maintain a conformity system
 Food Safety, Tourist Health and Safety and
Environmental Safety requirements have been
developed following international standards
and best practices.
 Local hotels and restaurants will be
assessed against these requirements.

Localization of a scheme developed by the

Chartered Institute of Environmental Health
(CIEH) to comply with food standards
requirements

Local partner: National Institute for Tourism

and Hospitality (LANITH)

Trading through Quality Chains

July 2013: UNIDO supported the 4th Global Review

of Aid for Trade “Connecting to Value Chains”,
which took place in Geneva. UNIDO has
supported the initiative since its
early days, and is now one of the
major implementing agencies of AFT-
related trade capacity-building
activities.

Trading through Quality Chains

From Compliance to shared Value

The publication presents UNIDO’s

value chain approach and highlights
several trade capacity building
projects:
