As a critical input for the comprehensive High-level Midterm review broad-based and inclusive country-level preparations shall be undertaken by all LDCs with a view to assess progress, obstacles, constraints, actions and measures necessary to further the implementation of the Istanbul Programme.
The national inputs of the Least Developed Countries are an essential part of the preparatory process. National reports should also provide an overview of measures taken in line with the IPoA priorities oriented towards boosting structural transformation and productive capacity building in the LDCs in order to enable them to meet the criteria for graduation by 2020.
To assist in the preparation of national reports, the General Assembly requested the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, in her capacity as Chair of the United Nations Development Group, to ensure full involvement of the Resident Coordinator system and country teams in LDCs in the preparation for high-level midterm review, including in the preparation of national reports.
