Review of socio-economic conditions, major problems and policies in African least developed countries

Abstract

To complement these measures the Substantial New Programme of Action appealed to the international community to assist the least developed countries particularly through an increase in the percentage of the gross national product that industrialized countries allocated to Official Development Assistance. In that regard several donor countries made the commitment either to increase their assistance to least developed countries to 0.15 per cent of their gross domestic product or to double such assistance by 1985.
