Progress towards UNLDC III development targets

In May 2001, a new Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2001–2010 (POA) was agreed at the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (UNLDC III). The Programme of Action is intended as “a framework for a strong global partnership to accelerate sustained economic growth and sustainable development in LDCs, to end marginalization by eradicating poverty, inequality and deprivation in these countries, and to enable them to integrate beneficially into the global economy” (United Nations, 2001: para. 4). Partnership is founded on mutual commitments by LDCs and their development partners to undertake concrete actions in seven areas.
