The least developed countries are suffering the ruinous economic consequences of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result of the global economic downturn and the restrictive measures adopted, the least developed countries today are undergoing the worst recession in 30 years. Their already low standards of living are falling. Their stubbornly high poverty rates are rising further, reversing the slow improvement they had achieved prior to the pandemic. Progress towards achievements on nutrition, health and education are being undone by the onslaught of the crisis.
