LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS
In the fast-changing global technology landscape, Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) grapple with distinct challenges hindering meaningful connectivity, access to digital services and value creation. Our mission is to build national human and institutional capacities, foster partnerships and advocate for policies that empower LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS to harness the full potential of digital technologies.
