Mobilizing parliamentary support for the Brussels Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries

This guide is a practical tool for LDC parliaments on action they can take in support of the Brussels Programme of Action (BPOA), including by establishing or strengthening already existing parliamentary structures. It is also intended for use by UN field offices in LDC countries to provide them with a better understanding of how they can interact with these parliaments more effectively and assist them in their work.

This Guide is part of the joint efforts of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Countries and Small Island Developing States to help parliaments tackle issues of governance and mainstream the objectives of the BPOA into national development strategies.
