LDC Group and Bureau
The Group of LDCs, currently chaired by the Permanent Representative of Malawi, actively promotes and protects LDCs interests in implementing the Programme of Action and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This advocacy takes place through relevant conferences, meetings and other intergovernmental and non-governmental processes.
Guided by its core mandate, OHRLLS supports the work of the Group of LDCs by undertaking research and analytical work as required by the Chair and Group members. The global coordination Bureau of LDCs, led by the Chair, defends the interest of LDCs and articulates their priorities in various conferences, meetings and other intergovernmental processes through declarations, statements, position papers and other forms of interventions.
The Group of LDCs meets every year at the level of Ministers of Foreign Affairs on the margins of the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. LDC Ministers adopt an annual declaration that determines the Group’s priorities in the General Assembly and other global intergovernmental fora.
