It provides training on key issues pertaining to sustainable industrial development. The organization also serves as a platform for knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and as a catalyst for innovative solutions and ideas for addressing specific policy challenges for achieving more inclusive, sustainable globalization patterns.[4]
