The United Nations Asian and Pacific Centre for
Agricultural Engineering and Machinery (UNAPCAEM) is a
subsidiary body/regional institution of the United
Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the
Pacific (UNESCAP), based in Beijing, P.R. China.
Following the host country headquarters agreement signed
between the Government of China and the United Nations
in November 2003, UNAPCAEM began its operations in 2004.
The revised Statute of UNAPCAEM was endorsed by the
Governing Council of UNAPCAEM in December 2004 and adopted
by the Commission at its sixty-first session in May
2005.
UNAPCAEM is committed to enhancing environmentally
sustainable agricultural and food production, applying
green and modern agro-technology for the well being of
producers and consumers of agricultural/food
products.
UNAPCAEM will be guided by the UN Millennium
Development Goals, the World Summit on Sustainable
Development and other internationally agreed development
goals, as well as the resolutions and mandates adopted
by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for
Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
UNAPCAEM will pursue its missions for our Member States
through information exchange and knowledge networking,
policy research, technical assistance in capacity
building and training, outreach/advocacy programmes, and
by fostering partnerships.
The Governing Council of UNAPCAEM has mandated it to
focus on three thematic cluster programmes of
agricultural engineering, food chain management, and
agro-enterprise development & trade.
