High-level Thematic Round Table 6: Sustainable recovery from the pandemic and building the resilience of least developed countries against future shocks

8 March 2023, Doha time: 9:00 – 12:00
Thematic Roundtables Hall

At the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and a growing crisis of debt, the LDCs are falling further behind the rest of the world. To achieve a sustainable recovery, opportunities in building back better and increasing the resilience of LDCs against future shocks need to be further explored. The DPoA puts a strong focus on sustainable recovery and resilience building in LDCs is a prerequisite to ensure that Covid-19 does not lead to a lost decade for development for LDCs and that the internationally agreed development goals remain within reach for the LDCs. It calls for access to safe, effective and affordable COVID19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics as well as ensuring universal access to health care in the LDCs to address current and future shocks.

The high-level thematic round tables will focus on consensus-building to renew and reinvigorate partnerships and mobilize additional international support measures and actions in support of least developed countries to enhance their resilience to multiple shocks and accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
