The LDC IV Monitor Report is the first of a series of biennial reports to accompany the reports from the official governmental review of the IPoA. LDC IV Monitor has presented a set of two publications to support the implementation of the IPoA. One is the Synthesis Report, which derives broad messages and key recommendations from a volume of scholarly papers on the topic of IPoA implementation titled Analytical Perspectives. The 12 chapters in Analytical Perspectives seek to elaborate on the benchmark situation in LDCs at the inception of the IPoA, identify emerging trends over the subsequent period, and highlight the structural and policy challenges facing LDCs and their development partners. This document draws its strength from the expertise and capacity of its eight-institution consortium. Together, they undertake high-calibre policy research, organise dialogues and carry out outreach activities covering the key issues laid out in the IPoA.
LDC IV Monitor is a global partnership of development organisations aimed at providing an independent assessment of the implementation of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA). Agenda
