LDCs
The second day of the High-Level Meeting on “Forging Ambitious Global Partnerships for Sustainable and Resilient Graduation of Least Developed Countries” featured three dynamic sessions that explored how graduating and graduated LDCs can secure sustainable progress, integrate into global trade systems, and build resilience against future shocks.
Doha, 2 December 2025 – The high-level meeting of the least developed countries, entitled “Building ambitious global partnerships for a sustainable and resilient exit from the LDC list,” kicked off in Doha on Tuesday.
The meeting will underscore the critical role of innovative and strengthened global partnerships in driving momentum for graduation among Least Developed Countries (LDCs), while enabling them to navigate and adapt to post-graduation challenges.
On 20 November 2025, UN-OHRLLS and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) jointly organized a webinar for national focal points of African Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to support the preparation of national reports for the global midterm review (MTR) of the implementation of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA).
As more LDCs reach or approach the threshold for graduation, and with the goal of bringing at least 15 additional LDCs into the graduation pipeline by 2031, it is imperative to strengthen their capacity to leverage global trade for sustainable and irreversible graduation.
