Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the Least Developed Countries – A Compendium of Policy Options reviews the policy recommendations derived from the analytical reports of UNCTAD’s Division for Africa, Least Developed Countries and Special Programmes, and identifies the strategies that could help LDC policymakers achieve the Goals. Specifically, this Compendium identifies possible types of instruments in various policy areas that will foster development progress, enhance growth, and support poverty eradication and economic structural transformation. It addresses the overall framework for development policies in LDCs, development-friendly macroeconomic policies, measures to support the creation and/or strengthening of productive capacities, and strategies to take advantage of the opportunities arising from trade and finance. The Compendium also suggests several elements to strengthen international support measures for LDCs within the global economic system. It therefore also serves as an appeal to LDC development partners for collaborative support at the international level.
