We recognize the importance of addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by countries in special situations, in particular African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States, as well as the specific challenges facing middle-income countries.

 8. We recognize the importance of addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by countries in special situations, in particular African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States, as well as the specific challenges facing middle-income countries.

We reaffirm that least developed countries, as the most vulnerable group of countries, need enhanced global support to overcome the structural challenges they face for the achievement of the post-2015 development agenda and the sustainable development goals.

We reaffirm the need to address the special challenges and needs of landlocked developing countries in structurally transforming their economies, harnessing benefits from international trade and developing efficient transport and transit systems.

We further reaffirm that small island developing States remain a special case for sustainable development in view of their small size, remoteness, narrow resource and export base and exposure to global environmental challenges.

We also reaffirm the need to achieve a positive socioeconomic transformation in Africa and the need to address the diverse and specific development needs of middle-income countries, including combating poverty in all of its forms.

In this regard, we support the implementation of relevant strategies and programmes of action, including the Istanbul Declaration and Programme of Action, 4 the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway5 and the Vienna Programme of Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014–2024,6 and reaffirm the importance of supporting the new development framework, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, as well as its 10-year plan of action, as a strategic framework for ensuring a positive socioeconomic transformation in Africa within the next 50 years, and its continental programme embedded in the resolutions of the General Assembly on the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). Countries in conflict and post-conflict situations also need special attention.

We recognize the development challenge posed by conflict, which not only impedes but can reverse decades of development gains.

We recognize the peace building financing gap and the importance of the Peace building Fund.

We take note of the principles set out in the New Deal by the Group of Seven Plus, countries that are, or have been, affected by conflict.
