Side-Event at LDC5 Prepcom: Productive Capacities for the New Decade

Date: 26 May 2021
Time: 11:30 am - 1:00 pm am EDT

Why is productive capacity central to the sustainable development of least developed countries (LDCs)? How can LDCs, with support from development partners, expand their productive capacity through domestic policies including efforts to build back better from COVID-19? How can the Fifth United Nations Conference on the LDCs (LDC5) contribute to these efforts through the new Programme of Action? The event, organized by the CDP, UNCTAD, EIF and the Technology Bank for LDCs, aims to provide a dialogue on these issues.
