CDP Secretariat participates at UNCTAD's Pre-conference event to LDC-IV

The Secretariat of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) participated at UNCTAD's Pre-conference event to LDC-IV themed "Building productive capacities in LDCs for inclusive and sustainable development". The event took place from 27 - 29 October 2010 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.

The event discussed challenges and opportunities that LDCs face in building productive capacities, in particular during the period following the financial and economic crisis that has marked most of the last quarter of the current decade. It also assisted LDCs in their search for new and practical policies that best respond to the multifaceted challenges they face in modernizing and diversifying their national economies.
