The Asia-Pacific Countries with Special Needs Development Report is a recurrent ESCAP annual publication that discusses issues of interest for Asia-Pacific least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS). The 2025 Report, with the theme of “Harnessing a New Generation of Programmes of Action for Sustainable Development Ambitions”, focuses on the recently adopted, new programmes of action for these groups of countries. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the new programmes, their alignments with the Sustainable Development Goals and lessons from previous programmes.
