“It is extremely important for the rest of the world to be supporting the LDCs to become more sustainable and not be dependent on aid.

“We all know that aid and ODA [official development assistance] is not the answer. The answer is, of course, building the capacity of the LDCs themselves to be generating their own income.

STORYLINE:
From 5-9 March in Doha, Qatar, world leaders will get together at the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries Conference (LDC5) to agree on partnerships and plans to help the world’s most vulnerable countries get back on track and thrive amid ongoing global challenges.
In an interview in New York, Rabab Fatima, UN High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS), explained, “The LDC5 conference is the meeting between the 46 LDCs, the Least Developed Countries, and the rest of the world, and their development partners, principally.”
The High Representative explained that the LDCs remain at the forefront of the current global economic crisis and the climate emergency. The Covid-19 pandemic hit them the hardest, derailing their development progress.
She said, “The LDCs are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are bearing the brunt of the multiple other cascading crises, including the war in Ukraine, the climate crisis, everything. I mean, the LDCs are at the frontline of many of these crises.”
Since the onset of the pandemic, the 46 countries in the least-developed category have suffered through inadequate pandemic-fighting resources and spiraling debt, sending their development progress backward.
She explained, “So, what has happened is the development progress that many of the LDCs had made over the past decade or so, especially since the Agenda 2030 was adopted, has actually gone back by a decade or so. So, the LDC5 is about addressing many of the issues. The LDC5 is about how to put back the LDCs on track to achieve the SDGs.”
“The rest of the world should care about these issues,” explained Rabab Fatima, “because these are the countries which are left the furthest behind.”
She added, “It is extremely important for the rest of the world to be supporting the LDCs to become more sustainable and not be dependent on aid. And it is extremely important that we help them to recover, we help them to build the capacity of resilience, so their dependence on the rest of the world or their development partners is also reduced.”
At the conference, the LDCs will gather with the rest of the international community to ensure their needs are placed back at the top of the global agenda.
Rabab called upon the LDCs “to be there and driving it, to sit to it and deal with their commitments on how to take this forward, as well as ensuring that their partners, the international community, also make the commitments to take it forward.”
Over five days of the LDC5, not only governments but also the private sector, civil society, and young people will gather to advance new ideas, raise new pledges of support, and spur delivery on agreed commitments through the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA).
Rabab stressed, “We all know that aid and ODA [official development assistance] is not the answer. The answer is, of course, building the capacity of the LDCs themselves to be generating their own income. Domestic revenues, all income. Trade is the next answer. Investment is the next answer. The LDCs are endowed many of the LDCs are endowed with huge natural resources but also human resources; a large number of the youth population of the world are in the LDCs.”
The High Representative said about the host country, “Qatar has always been very supportive of the developing countries, especially the LDCs.”
Noting that one of the DPoA priority areas is how best to leverage international migration for the development of the LDCs, she added, “Qatar is also home to a large number of migrant population, many of them coming from, migrant workers, many of them coming from the LDCs.”
The DPoA for the LDCs for the Decade 2022-2031 was adopted in March 2022 and will form the spine of conversations and commitments at LDC5.
It is a ten-year action plan that commits the world to a new generation of renewed and strengthened commitments between the LDCs and their development partners, the private sector, and civil society.
UN-OHRLLS, the organizing office of LDC5 within the United Nations, has already started work on some key projects identified in the DPoA.
A Graduation Support Facility, iGRAD, will provide advisory services to help countries prepare for smooth graduation out of the LDC category and support their efforts in sustainable development.
The LDCs are Afghanistan; Angola; Bangladesh; Benin; Bhutan; Burkina Faso; Burundi; Cambodia; Central African Republic; Chad; Comoros; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Djibouti; Eritrea; Ethiopia; Gambia; Guinea; Guinea-Bissau; Haiti; Kiribati; Lao People’s Democratic Republic; Lesotho; Liberia; Madagascar; Malawi; Mali; Mauritania; Mozambique; Myanmar; Nepal; Niger; Rwanda; Sao Tome and Principe; Senegal; Sierra Leone; Solomon Islands; Somalia; South Sudan; Sudan; Timor-Leste; Togo; Tuvalu; Uganda; United Republic of Tanzania; Yemen and Zambia. Vanuatu was the latest country to graduate from the category and did so in late 2020.
