Welcome to the United Nations
From 1 to 5 October the Secretariat of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) visited Dhaka, Chittagong and Cox´s Bazaar in Bangladesh to assess the possible impact of the countries’ graduation from the Least Developed Countries (LDC) category. During the visit members of government, the UN system, international financial institutions, bilateral development partners, think- tanks and other organizations were interviewed and consultations with three garment manufacturing companies, an IT firm and a pharmaceuticals manufacturer were held. The findings will be shared with the government of Bangladesh to support its preparation of a transition strategy from the LDC category.
