HLPF 2023: LDCs' Access to Finance, Missing Links and Ways Forward (UN-OHRLLS, Canada, Nepal, Lesotho)
19 July 2023. Despite the trend towards more financing through multilateral platforms, Least Developed Countries (LDCs) still face myriad challenges to accessing sufficient resources to achieve their sustainable development and climate objectives. With support from Canada, UN OHRLLS conducted a study in late 2022/early 2023 that directly engaged with LDC finance and planning ministries to better understand and synthesize their experience in accessing traditional loans and grants, as well as climate finance, to advance national projects and programs. This event will present the findings of the study and a high-level panel will discuss the recommendations and ways forward.
