2 Outline 1. LDCs: A Glimpse 2. Graduation and IPoA 3. Where Does Nepal Stand? 4. The Path Ahead
3 A Glimpse of the Club countries 13% of world population; 1% of GDP; 1.2% of trade; 2% of FDI inflow Began with 25 countries (with 3 eligible opting out) 2. A diverse bunch, but shared vulnerabilities From Bangladesh to Tuvalu; Equatorial Guinea to Malawi Many are landlocked, remote, undiversified 7 countries account for 3/4 of LDCs exports 3. Over 320 million people in 13 LDCs in Asia-Pacific Third largest in the world if a country (but economy comp. to Greece)

7 Criteria 1. GNI per capita $1035 for eligibility (2015 triennial review), 3-year average per Atlas method of WB Threshold for graduation: 20% above ($1,242) 2. Human Assets Index (HAI) Education: gross secondary enrollment ratio and adult literacy Health & nutrition: % of undernourished population and under-5 mortality rate Threshold for graduation: 10% above the inclusion threshold of 60 (3 rd quartile of ref. group) 3. Economic Vulnerability Index (EVI) Exposure: population size, location, economic structure, environment Shock: trade (instability of exports); and natural (victims of natural disasters; instability of agri.) Threshold for graduation: 10% below the inclusion threshold of 36 (1st quartile of ref. group)
8 Graduands Istanbul Program of Action (IPoA): The overarching goal is to overcome the structural challenges to enable half of the LDCs to meet the criteria for graduation this is closely related to the objective to achieve sustained growth of at least a level of 7 percent annually. Graduates so far: Botswana (1994); Cape Verde (2007); Maldives (2011); Samoa (2014) Expected by 2018: Equatorial Guinea (2017); Vanuatu (2017) Next in line (likely propelled by income): Tuvalu, Angola, Kiribati, Solomon Island, Timor-Leste, Bhutan

16 The Path Ahead
17 Augmenting human capabilities Efficacy of budgetary allocation in education and health Evidence-driven management of systems and professionals Low attendance and absenteeism Matching of inputs (medicine, textbook) with other (performance) incentives Teaching at the right level Enforcing accountability; widening access; and coordinating better Well-regulated private initiatives, including PPP
18 The imperative of sustained high growth Massive investments esp. in clean energy, transport and other infrastructure that constrain growth Enhanced productive capacities; revival of manufacturing; niche agriculture and modern tradable services (including tourism) Regional growth poles in India and China; global value chains Youth bulge and the remittance economy
19 At a time of our choosing Mainstream and pursue the three pillars for graduation Graduation Strategy, Periodic Plans, NHDRs Engage in CDP review of eligibility in 2015, 2018 Take the parliament on board Prepare vulnerability profile and impact assessments Work on a smooth transition strategy Meet technical criteria -- but not seek to graduate formally? Income base ought to be much stronger; and Implications for aid, market access, S&DT and international obligations clearer
