Mr. Chairman,
Mr. Cheick Sidi Diarra, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and High Representative, OHRLLS
Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of ECA, Honourable Ministers and Members of Parliament,
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with great honour that I address this important meeting that is taking place as part of the preparatory process for next year’s 4th UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC IV). It is appropriate that we meet on 8 March, International Women’s Day. Women are key to development and, and to creating the environment that is essential for development to be realized. Until we recognize this, not just in words, but in reality we will not achieve our goal. I stand here as a representative of LDC Watch, to share with you our perspectives on the challenges facing the citizens of LDCs. As the only LDC civil society network engaged in policy advocacy and campaigns in the interest of the LDCs, we have been entrusted by the UN High Representative to take the leading role in preparing civil society’s engagement with the process. We are honoured to take on this role and we are pleased to share that we are also encouraged by the assurance of support extended by the Chair of the LDC group, members of the LDC Global Coordination Bureau and Permanent Representative of the government of Turkey in New York.

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Cheick Sidi Diarra, High Representative for LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for inviting me to this meeting as the International Coordinator of LDC Watch. It is my regret that I could not be with you at the meeting in person today; however, I would like to share with you a few words, specifically on the preparatory process towards the LDC IV that is underway. I am immensely pleased to share with you that LDC Watch is leading the civil society process, having been officially mandated by the UN-OHRLLS, and we are indeed honoured to assume this historically important responsibility. As the only LDC civil society network engaged in policy advocacy and campaigns in the interest of the LDCs since 2001, we are taking this leadership role both as strength and as a challenge, on behalf of the entire LDC civil society constituency.
