SUMMARY

Abstract: This compendium has been prepared by the secretariat of the Conference at the specific request of the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Preparatory Committee for the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries. The main goals of the Compendium are: (1) To provide additional inputs for the finalization of the Global Programme of Action for the LDCs for the Decade 2001-2010; (2) To help the Intergovernmental Preparatory Committee to make an assessment of the preparedness for the Third UN Conference on the LDCs at the country level; (3) To help those LDCs that have to finalize their National Programmes of Action for 2001-2010 taking into account major constraints and actions relevant to their specific conditions. The document has been prepared on the basis of the drafts of the LDC National Programmes of Action for the Decade 2001-2010 which were available as of mid-January 2001. Conclusions and recommendations of various country and regional level preparatory meetings have also been taken into account. The presentation of the Compendium is based on the general structure of the draft Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2001-2010 (A/CONF.191/IPC/L.4). The compendium summarizes various constraints faced by different LDCs and related actions that should be taken by both LDCs and their development partners in order to implement each commitment
