"The annual Ministerial Meeting of the Least Developed Countries continues to serve as an important platform for LDCs to deliberate and strategize on critical issues concerning development, economic growth, and sustainable progress. This year's meeting holds particular significance, as it takes place in the immediate aftermath of the Summit of the Future and amidst the accelerated preparations for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4). LDCs must not miss the opportunity to reflect on their challenges and problems and demand enhanced support and cooperation in FfD4. These milestones are crucial in determining whether multilateralism and development finance will evolve to adequately address the unique needs and challenges faced by LDCs, guiding them toward sustainable development.

LDCs express deep appreciation for the ongoing support from all development partners and stakeholders, which is outlined in the roadmap on accelerated implementation of the DPoA prepared by OHRLLS. However, as the most vulnerable group of countries, disproportionately facing emerging shocks and historical inequalities, the need for sustained international support is more pressing than ever. In this context, the ministerial meeting will focus on accelerated mainstreaming and implementation of the Doha Programme of Action and its key deliverables. This will make important contributions to bolster the implementation of the sustainable development goals.

The Meeting will provide an opportunity for the ministers and representatives to share their experiences, highlighting both the progress made and the challenges faced amidst ongoing global crises. Additionally, it will allow the Friends of LDCs to provide updates on their continued support and share updates on potential avenues for strengthening assistance to the least developed countries."

"OHRLLS has developed the Guidelines for Mainstreaming and Monitoring the Implementation of the DPoA. These guidelines offer practical, step-by-step directives and tools to assist governments and other national players in the LDCs in incorporating the DPoA into the national development plans and establishing robust monitoring mechanisms. The guidelines also serve as a useful reference for the �山��Country Teams in the LDCs to provide enhanced support in this regard.

This year’s meeting of the LDCs NFPs aims to launch the Guidelines and provide orientation of tools designed for mainstreaming and monitoring of the implementation of the DPoA. Participants will engage in extensive discussions on the application of these guidelines within respective national contexts. The workshop is part of the efforts of OHRLLS to bolster the capacity of the LDCs in the effective implementation of the DPoA. The workshop will draw participation from policymakers responsible for national development and planning in the LDCs, LDCs National Focal Points, representatives of the �山��Resident Coordinators in the LDCs and representatives from the Government of Türkiye.

The workshop is organized with the generous support and contribution of the Government of Türkiye."
