Information on ITU support for LDCs: LDCs - Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States (itu.int)
"ITU has mainstreamed the needs of LDCs in all its activities, programmes and projects to achieve its commitments under the Istanbul Programme of Action 2011-2020 and more recently, under the Doha Programme of Action 2022-2031. ITU’s participation in the Fifth United Nations Conference on LDCs (LDC5) which adopted the Doha Programme of Action is reflected here.
ITU is committed to enhancing its support to LDCs and the impact of its work on social and economic development across the board through ensuring meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation aligned with the implementation of the Doha Programme of Action for LDCs. As part of ITU’s mandate, the ITU Development Bureau (BDT) provides technical assistance and customized support to LDCs upon request. In addition, BDT is developing research and analysis on the development of telecommunications/ICTs and digital technologies in LDCs and their contribution to economic and social development and the achievement of SDGs. Through its core work and through building strong and sustainable development partnerships, ITU also supports LDCs in their graduation process.
The ITU also supports LDCs through Cyber for Good, an umbrella project funded by the Ministry of Science and ICTs of the Republic of Korea, dedicated to addressing the cybersecurity needs of the eligible Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
