Towards a world without LDCs

The Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC-IV) is taking place in Istanbul, Turkey from 9-13 May 2011. This report is a compendium of civil society voices from across the world, drawn from a series of interactions held at the local, national and regional levels. It has been contextually analysed and articulated to provide desirable sets of policy and programmatic recommendations for LDC-IV, with the aim of addressing the challenges most critical to the sustainable development of the LDCs.
