Célestin Monga, a Cameroonian national, has been appointed MD of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Unido) – the UN body mandated with promoting and accelerating inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition.

The economist is a director at the Oxford University Press Handbook of Africa and Economics.

“I am humbled that Unido’s director-general Li Yong offered me this new opportunity. For more than two centuries, industrialisation has been the main engine of growth and prosperity in the world and has helped lift out of poverty hundreds of millions of people.

“However, the realisation that current modes of industrialisation are neither inclusive nor properly sustainable has led the member States of Unido to adopt the December 2013 Lima Declaration, in which they agreed to promote inclusive and sustainable industrial development,” commented Monga.
