Least Developed Countries (LDC)
In LDCs, the ILO’s support focuses on comprehensive employment policies, investment in rural infrastructure and the urban informal economy, gradually facilitating transition to formality. While recognizing that poverty continues to be a persistent problem in many middle-income countries, where part of donor-earmarked programmes of the ILO is also implemented, the Office has substantially increased its development spending in LDCs in the recent years. Since 2011, the share of the ILO’s country-level funding spent on LDCs has increased from 30.6% to 44.6%, representing US$70.6 million in 2014.
