- Organization of regional and global multi-stakeholder consultations aiming to develop enhanced LDC-oriented global development processes, specifically the BPoA, by promoting a pro-poor development agenda in favor of the vulnerable and marginalized in the LDCs.
- Organization of parliamentary hearings on the issues and concerns of the LDCs both with national governments as well as development partner governments.
