Project Executing

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is functioning as the Project Execution Agency (PEA) and hasl assigned a Project Manager for the project.

UNIDO as the United Nations specialized agency for industrial development has taken over the role of the PEA due to its longstanding experience with implementation of technical assistance projects, particularly in African countries.

UNIDO has the required logistic and administrative infrastructure in East Africa (Regional Office in Ethiopia and Country Offices in Kenya) to assure smooth implementation and M&E of the regional project activities in the field;
Various line ministries and organizations in the countries need to be involved tackling the entire value chain, from the resource to processing and marketing. In order to coordinate the interests of these entities, an objective and independent PEA institution is required; UNIDO as an Honest Broker is in the position to strengthen the required inter-ministerial cooperation;
Within its Project Development and Technical Cooperation Division (PTC), the AGRO industries branch will provide an experienced Project Manager from the Wood/Bamboo Industry Unit;

In-kind contributions and assistance to the project will be provided by other UNIDO branches in particular on entrepreneurship development;
Experience and lessons learned from prior and on-going UNIDO projects particularly in East-Africa will be a valuable asset for the successful implementation of the project.
