Test Your Knowledge on UNCDF and Least Developed Countries (LDCs)

Study Notes

UNCDF aims to enable sustainable and inclusive economic growth in LDCs to achieve the SDGs.
LDCs are home to 40% of the world's low-income population and account for less than 1% of global trade and foreign direct investment.
LDCs face constraints such as limited development ability, low and unequally distributed income, and a lack of domestic financial resources.
The LDC category was established by the UN General Assembly in 1971 to provide special support measures to assist the least developed among developing countries.
46 countries are classified as LDCs based on three criteria: low per capita income, low score on the Human Assets Index, and high score on the Economic and Environmental Vulnerability Index.
The Committee for Development Policy reviews the list of LDCs every three years and makes recommendations on inclusion and graduation.
To be eligible for graduation, a country must reach thresholds in two of the three criteria in two consecutive triennial reviews or meet the income-only criterion.
The LDC5 Conference in Doha will promote new ideas and pledges of support to accelerate delivery on agreed commitments under the Doha Programme of Action.
The Conference will include plenary sessions, high-level subject roundtables, and thematic priority side activities.
The Group of LDCs will celebrate its 50th anniversary after the opening session of the Conference.
