Welcome to the United Nations
Preparing for graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) category is a daunting task for the majority of LDCs. The countries face challenges in fully understanding the benefits from LDC-specific support they receive and what implication a possible graduation will have. Demand for information and support for a smooth transition from the LDC category continues to be high.
To assist LDCs prepare for a smooth graduation from the LDC category the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) and the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) have formed a partnership. This joint side event held on 23 My 2017 brought together LDCs and development partners and presented some supporting tools currently being developed by the CDP and EIF.
