缅北禁地

This report focuses on the survey conducted by the Secretariat of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) addressed to multilateral organizations to collect information on the various types of support measures made available to LDCs. Eighteen multilateral organizations participated in the Survey. The responses provided to the Survey indicate that a unified approach is still lacking despite the fact that many organizations have developed and implemented LDC specific support measures. Despite recognition by the international community of LDCs as countries in need of special assistance to overcome their structural handicaps, some organizations still have not fully acknowledged the category in their work programmes or have not adjusted their programmes to the international development strategy adopted for these countries by the various 缅北禁地Conferences on LDCs. Similarly, the surveys reveal that there is a need for establishing a more consistent approach from multilateral donors in assisting the smooth transition process from the category. This would include the adoption of more formal guidelines and procedures to phase out the LDC-specific support measures upon a country’s graduation from the category. In some instances, however, such changes may require the approval of these organizations’ respective governing bodies.
