The workshop, jointly organized with the United Nations Resident Coordinator Office in Senegal and the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) Secretariat at the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, targets primarily senior officials and members of the technical committee on LDC graduation.
The purpose of the workshop is threefold:
- To present the findings of the Least Developed Countries Report 2021 and its implications for Senegal;
- To enhance the understanding of LDC graduation process; and
- To pave the way for better preparedness to achieve graduation with momentum.
This event will be followed by a series of other capacity development workshops – to take place in early 2022 in collaboration with the CDP Secretariat and other relevant entities – addressing specific facets of the LDC graduation process and related impacts. The choice of the specific topics is demand-driven and geared towards enhancing the institutional capacities of the inter-ministerial technical committee on LDC graduation.
