United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) XII: Outcomes and Subsequent Priorities for Bangladesh and other LDCs

No 69, CPD Working Paper from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: This paper focuses on the UNCTAD XII Conference that took place in Accra, Ghana during 20-25 April 2008. In view of the worldwide volatile price situation of essential commodities, alongside the deadlock in the Doha Round of the trade negotiations, UNCTAD XII had generated high expectations for developing countries in general, and LDCs in particular. This paper makes an analysis of the Final Draft (Accra Accord) of this Conference (with respect to the sub-themes coupled with UNCTAD's contribution in those areas) against the pre-Conference drafts, and provide inputs as well as policy options for Bangladesh and other LDCs in order to reap the benefits emanating from both the evolving world trading regime, and the process of globalisation.
