Handbook on the Least Developed Country Category
Inclusion, Graduation and Special Support Measures
The 2nd edition of the Handbook contains an updated comprehensive explanation of the criteria, procedures and methodology used in establishing which countries are eligible for inclusion in, or recommended for graduation from, the least developed country (LDC) category. It also provides an overview of the special support measures that can be derived from having least developed country status and the implications of graduating from the list in terms of the potential of such measures.
