World Economic Forum recommends 6 measures that the global community can implement to support LDCs -many of them also landlocked least developed countries

What is to be done in those nearly 50 countries, who fall under the United Nation’s Least-Developed Country (LDC) status, home to nearly 900 million people worldwide. As governments around the world prepare for the worst, what lessons are relevant to those countries that lack the economic resources and medical infrastructure of South Korea?

Here are six measures that the global community can implement to support LDCs.
