The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) provides technical cooperation, advisory services and development programmes to all developing countries. ITU prioritizes LDCs in some programmes, technical assistance and fellowships for selected conferences and meetings. ITU is committed to enhancing its support to LDCs and the impact of its work on social and economic development across the board through ensuring meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation aligned with the implementation of the Doha Programme of Action for LDCs. As part of ITU’s mandate, the ITU Development Bureau (BDT) provides technical assistance and customized support to LDCs upon request. ITU also has initiatives that target or prioritize LDCs (as well as other groups of countries in special situations), such as , an umbrella project funded by the Ministry of Science and ICTs of the Republic of Korea, dedicated to addressing the cybersecurity needs of the eligible LDCs and SIDS; and , a global alliance to mobilize resources and partnerships to secure universal, meaningful connectivity, targeting the hardest-to-connect communities.
