Abstract

The Asia-Pacific Countries with Special Needs Development Report is a recurrent ESCAP annual publication that discusses issues of interest for Asia-Pacific least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS), collectively referred to as countries with special needs (CSN). The 2021 edition of the report, with its theme of "Strengthening the Resilience of Least Developed Countries in the Wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic", summarizes the progress made by Asia-Pacific least developed countries in implementing the Programme of Action for Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2010-2020. It also examines the economic and social impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on these countries and offers some perspectives on how Asia-Pacific least developed countries can strengthen their resilience towards the LDC graduation and the Sustainable Development Goals.
