Least Developed Countries (LDCs)

Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are nations recognized by the United Nations as facing significant challenges such as low income, weak infrastructure, inadequate health and education systems, and economic vulnerability. These countries struggle to meet their populations' basic needs and often rely heavily on agriculture or a few natural resources. The classification aims to highlight their need for special support and development assistance to improve living standards, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable growth. Despite their difficulties, LDCs have potential for progress through targeted investments and global cooperation.
