Introduction
Landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) are widely dispersed around the
globe: 15 are located in Africa, 12 in Asia, 2 in Latin America and 2 in Central and
Eastern Europe. Despite their location on four different continents, all 31 LLDCs
share common problems of geographical remoteness and dependence on trade and
transport systems in neighbouring and coastal countries. The location of LLDCs in
the interior of continents requires their export and import goods to travel hundreds,
if not thousands of kilometers to and from the closest maritime ports. However,
transit dependence increases transactions costs and reduces competitiveness in
world market. This discourages investors and diminishes the capacity of LLDCs’ to
reap benefits from the international division of labour.
Not surprisingly, most landlocked developing countries are very poor. Most of
them are far from reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) related to
primary education, infant mortality, access to safe water and the primary goal of
poverty eradication. In fact, several landlocked developing countries are even moving
further away from reaching these objectives.
For landlocked developing countries, promoting efficient transit systems in
order to lower trade transaction and transport costs, in particular, is an important
objective. However, the building of supply capacities for goods and services that
are not sensitive to distance and a stronger regional trade expansion are also major
prerequisites for a more beneficial integration of these countries into the international
trading system.
The international community has focused on the specific development constraints
of LLDCs for many decades. The United Nations Millennium Declaration urged their
development partners to increase financial and technical assistance to LLDCs to
help them overcome the impediments of geography. This call was echoed at major
United Nations conferences in Brussels, Monterrey, Johannesburg and, particularly
in Almaty, which was solely dedicated to the problems of landlocked and transit
developing countries.
The 2003 Almaty International Ministerial Conference of Landlocked and
Transit Developing Countries and Donor Countries and International Financial
and Development Institutions on Transit Transport Cooperation helped forge a
global partnership to tackle the economic marginalization of LLDCs. UNCTAD is
fully committed to shoulder its obligations for the implementation of the Almaty
Programme of Action, including its mid-term review process.
This publication presents key economic, social and trade information on all 31
LLDCs. It helps to understand the development challenge faced by these countries
and underlines the need for international assistance to them.
