Financing a New Decade of Development for Landlocked Developing Countries
Special Event room FIBES 1, FFD4, Seville, Spain
The 606 million people of the 32 Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) confront distinct challenges in their pursuit of sustainable development and economic growth. Limited access to international markets and high transport costs are compounded by the growing climate and debt crises. The Plurinational State of Bolivia (Chair of the Group of LLDCs), the Kyrgyz Republic (Vice-Chair of the Group of LLDCs), and the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) are convening a Ministerial Meeting as a Special Event to the Fourth Financing for Development (FFD4) Forum, in Seville, Spain, to bring together high- level representatives from LLDCs and key stakeholders to consider how the FFD4 outcome can support LLDCs to mobilize finance to implement the Programme of Action for the LLDCs for the Decade 2024-2034.
