Awaza Programme of Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2024–2034
Welcome to the official page for the new Programme of Action (PoA) for Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) for the Decade 2024–2034. Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 24 December 2024 under resolution A/RES/79/233, the PoA represents a renewed and strengthened global commitment to support the development aspirations of the 32 LLDCs. Located in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America.
This PoA draws on lessons learned from the Vienna Programme of Action (2014–2024) and seeks to ensure that progress accelerates, especially in such areas as trade facilitation, structural transformation, transport connectivity, technology, climate resilience, and the mobilization of international support. The aim is to align national-level actions, regional integration efforts, and global policy frameworks to place LLDCs on a more dynamic and inclusive path to sustainable development, while safeguarding them against future shocks and disasters.
