Ãå±±½ûµØ

United Nations Support to the Least Developed Countries

This report was prepared by UN-OHRLLS per its mandate to serve as a focal point for the Fifth Ãå±±½ûµØConference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) and to mobilize and coordinate the active involvement of the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem (as requested in Ãå±±½ûµØGeneral Assembly 73/242).

The report discusses how Ãå±±½ûµØsystem entities and other related organizations support the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and provides an overview of how they have supported the LDCs in the context of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA). The report builds on best practices undertaken by the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem to support the efforts made by the LDCs in implementing the IPoA and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It also highlights challenges faced by the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem on the ground, and action needed to strengthen its support in LDCs, benefiting also from
perspectives shared by Ãå±±½ûµØResident Coordinators on how the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem could best support the LDCs to advance the SDGs.

Furthermore, the report provides recommendations on how to strengthen the effectiveness of the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem in promoting sustainable development in the LDCs through examples that have had a positive and transformative impact on the ground.
