graduation threshold. New index will be added such as maternity mortality ration. The undernourishment is expected to be measured by levels of stunting. We need to monitor this.
transition is about the Economic Vulnerability Index

– “remoteness”, – “share of agriculture, forestry and fishing in GDP” and the – “victims of natural disasters”
that the “merchandise export concentration” index would jump in the case all EU importing countries were aggregated into a single EU market destination ONE KEY SUCCESS FACTOR LIES WITH THE DIVERSIFICATION OF OUR ECONOMY
consider to ensure a smooth path to graduation (tax revenues, productivity, economic diversification, labor market, infrastructures, health and education etc…) we must understand how graduation will impact us as such. GRADUATION = LOSS IN PREFERENTIAL TREATMENTS PROVIDED TO LDCs by bilateral and multilateral partners, both from an ODA and a trading perspective
partners:
– World Bank and ADB (middle income status) – UN (LDC status) – WTO (LDC status) – Bilateral and multilateral ODA providers (share of ODA tight to LDC status) – Bilateral and multilateral trading partners (preferential market access) TO DATE THERE IS NO RECOGNIZED METHODOLOGY TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF GRADUATION ACCORDING TO ALL THOSE FACTORS – IT MOSTLY DEPENDS ON OUR CAPACITY TO PROACTIVELY PREPARE THE GROUND WITH EACH PARTNERS
To mitigate the risks linked to graduation, we need to define a clear strategy:
exposure (EVI)
to graduating countries before graduation becomes effective)
From now towards graduation:
1/ Support our efforts in economic diversification
curriculum development
development 2/ Further build our capacity to better negotiate with partners
3/ Develop our “smooth transition strategy” and support the consultation and coordination process with all key partners at strategic level
After graduation during the smooth transition period:
