Assisting LDCs in preparing for graduation
Organized by:
DESA & Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF)
Summary:
This event addresses the challenges LDCs face in understanding the type of LDC-specific support from which they benefit and the policy implications of the possible loss of such support after graduation. To that end, DESA is developing a web-based platform to provide information on graduation. The Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), the only global Aid for Trade partnership and dedicated programme for the LDCs, provides a framework for inclusive, trade stimulated growth. The EIF funded Diagnostic Trade Integration Studies (DTISs) provide a useful avenue for LDCs to analyze the trade-related impacts of graduation and as such is considering how to include graduation checklists in the preparation of DTISs.
This event highlights opportunities, constraints and considerations for LDCs on the graduation path and in particular highlights the role that DESA and the EIF partnership can play to prepare for smooth graduation pathways. The event also provides an opportunity to receive feedback.
