STORYLINE
Three years after the world began to shut down as COVID-19 took hold, the UN and other partners will gather in Doha, Qatar, to deliver a historic new compact to support the countries whose vulnerabilities the pandemic most exposed.
The conference of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) takes place every 10 years, and this year’s meeting from 5 to 9 March 2023, known as LDC5, will focus on returning the needs of the 46 designated countries to the top of the global agenda and supporting them as they strive to get back on track to sustainable development.
The Least Developed Countries are countries listed by the United Nations that exhibit the lowest indicators of socioeconomic development across a range of indexes.
All LDCs have a gross national per capita income (GNI) of below USD$1,018; compare that to almost $71,000 in the United States, $44,000 in France, $9,900 in Turkey and $6,530 in South Africa according to data from World Bank.
These countries also have low scores on the indicators for nutrition, health, school enrolment, and literacy and high scores for economic and environmental vulnerability, which measures factors such as remoteness, dependence on agriculture, and exposure to natural disasters.
There are currently 46 LDCs, the vast majority of which are in Africa.
The list is reviewed every three years by the UN Economic and Social Council.
Six countries graduated from LDC status between 1994 and 2020.
