Launch of the Handbook on the LDC category and the 2015 LDC snapshots

On 19 November 2015 the Secretariat of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) launched the second edition of the Handbook on the Least Developed Country Category: Inclusion, Graduation and Special Support Measures.

This second edition builds upon and updates the previous edition, published in 2008. The publication is intended for use by government officials, policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders interested in the LDC category.

The CDP also launched the 2015 Country Snapshots, which compile the key statistical data used by the CDP at the 2015 triennial review of the least developed country category.
