High-level Thematic Round Table 7: Resource mobilization and strengthened global partnerships for sustainable development in least developed countries

8 March 2023, Doha time: 14:00 – 17:00
Thematic Roundtables Hall

LDCs are largely dependent on public resources to finance sustainable development needs. While financing needs have been growing access to most forms of financing like domestic resources and ODA as well as FDI has been stagnant or declining. Over the past decade external debt has been rising, and is often exacerbated by large costs caused by disasters and structural vulnerabilities. The Doha Programme of Action thus aims at expanding the resources that least developed countries can channel towards implementing the 2030 Agenda to meet the funding gaps in LDCs along with progress in reforming the international debt architecture. It stresses the need to incentivize additional financing and investment, strengthen their regulatory and policy environments, and develop pipelines of investable projects.

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.
