 Connectivity is crucial in today's world, but least developed countries' LDCs face major challenges in achieving it. Only 36% of the population in LDCs use the internet in 2022, compared with 66% globally. Lack of access, digital skills and affordability limit the journey of LDCs towards social and economic development. Aligned with the United Nations Doha Programme of Action, ITU responds to the specific challenges and needs of LDCs to enable them to benefit from the emerging global wave of digital technology. Through our work, we help LDCs through capacity building, direct project assistance and human-centric digital public services. We equip LDCs with data insights to inform policies and provide technical assistance and support innovation, inclusion and entrepreneurship with tools and methodologies. We prioritize the use of technologies to save lives during emergencies, protect our planet, foster cyber resilience and map broadband for universal connectivity. We are committed to making strong and impactful partnerships to do all of this, including through the Connect to Recovery Initiative for Resilient Digital Infrastructure, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Alliance for Digital Development, the ITU UNICEF GIGA School Connectivity Initiative to connect every school to the internet, the Partner to Connect Digital Coalition to accelerate universal and meaningful connectivity in the world's hardest to connect communities. Join us in building a more connective, inclusive and a better world through digital. Together, we can help LDCs advance towards sustainable and irreversible graduation from the LDC category.
