Abstract
A new Programme of Action (New PoA) for Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) for 2024-2034 was adopted in December 2024, following the conclusion of the Vienna Programme of Action (VPoA) for LLDCs for 2014-2024. This policy brief examines the alignment of the New PoA with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), revealing that it aligns with 13 of 17 SDGs, with 65% of its targets closely matching or resembling SDG targets. The brief highlights the synergies between the New PoA and the 2030 Agenda, emphasizing how LLDCs-focused targets contribute to the attainment of the SDGs. It suggests integrating supplementary frameworks, such as the voluntary national review (VNR) process and SDG monitoring platforms and data tools, into the New PoA’s monitoring and reporting mechanisms to streamline and enhance monitoring efforts and progress tracking.
