First Meeting of the LDC5 Preparatory Committee
Preparations for LDC5 involve national, regional and global reviews of all IPoA priorities by all major stakeholders.
The outcomes of these inclusive and broad-based reviews will feed into the work of the Intergovernmental Preparatory Committee (PrepCom), whose mandate is to agree on elements of the new Programme of Action for the LDCs that will then be finalised and adopted by the Doha Conference.
The PrepCom 1st. Session takes place between May 24 and 28, 2021.
