Fatima says traditional donor countries need to come with"concrete commitments" ahead of the fifth UN Conference on Least Developed Countries held in Doha.The world cannot recover from a spate of crises if its poorest nations are forgotten, the UN envoy for the least developed countries said ahead of a key summit.
"If we really want to turn the tide, and to see to it that they can be brought back onto track to achieve the SDGs, especially in this final decade of action, we have to invest more efforts and resources to the LDCs," added the high representative. While she hopes traditional donor countries will come to Doha with "concrete commitments," she emphasises that it is in poorer countries' interest not to be so dependent on official aid.The fifth UN Conference on Least Developed Countries runs from March 5 to 9.
Fatima wants those countries to share their experiences, because "with the aid horizon shrinking, it is inevitable that they have to build their own capacity."
