Roadmap to Doha Programme of Action

The Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) prepared this comprehensive roadmap for the accelerated implementation of the Doha Programme of Action PDF(DPoA) for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) for the decade 2022-2031. It was prepared in close consultation with the United Nations Inter-Agency Consultative Group on the LDCs.

The Roadmap identifies specific actions to be taken by governments of LDCs, development partners, the United Nations system, and other stakeholders, including the private sector to achieve the DPoA targets that are critical to implement the 2030 Agenda in the 45 LDCs and bring about transformative changes in the lives of more than 1 billion people living in these countries.

It also includes milestones for the mid-term and the period leading up to 2031 to enable effective monitoring of the Programme’s implementation and to promote shared responsibility across LDCs, the UN system, development partners, and other stakeholders. Governments of LDCs will remain at the forefront of its implementation.

At all levels, the UN system is committed to supporting the Governments of LDCs to ensure full and effective implementation of the DPoA. It will ensure that its commitments are reflected in corporate strategic plans and in United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks in LDCs. The time for accelerated implementation and action is now.
