Last week was yet another active week for us at the UN Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries. It was filled with productive meetings, strategic planning, and collaborative efforts. From high-level discussions to bilateral meetings, we reinforced our commitment to leverage science, technology, and innovation to advance sustainable development in Least Developed Countries (LDCs).

The week commenced with the Meeting of National Focal Points of LDCs. This gathering was crucial for aligning our strategies, sharing insights, and ensuring we remain on track with our commitments. The discussions provided valuable perspectives on how best to implement and monitor the progress made, setting a solid foundation for our future initiatives.

Following this, we held our Governing Council meeting, which was positive and forward-looking. The robust commitment and enthusiasm from our members and partners to advance the DPoA's STI goals were incredibly encouraging. We evaluated our current activities and delved into the preparations and studies for the 2025-2027 Strategic Plan. These discussions were essential in laying the groundwork for a more impactful future, ensuring that we deliver results for LDCs.

To cap off the week, we hosted participants of the Annual Meeting of National Contact Points of LDCs at Tubitak's Gebze Campus. This motivating visit was a fantastic opportunity to present the work of the UNTB and reconnect with LDCs Focal Points. It fostered stronger ties and explored new avenues for collaboration. Our presentations highlighted our ongoing projects and initiatives, showcasing the tangible impacts of our efforts and the potential for future collaborations.

In addition to these key events, we also had several bilateral meetings with LDCs representatives. These discussions focused on the ongoing work on Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) and explored ways to enhance our collaborative efforts. We explained our current projects in detail, listened to the specific needs and challenges faced by each country, and identified areas for future cooperation. These meetings were invaluable in strengthening our partnerships and ensuring that our work is tailored to meet the unique needs of each LDC.

A huge thank you goes to the Office of the United Nations High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States (OHRLLS), Professor Hasan Mandal, President of Tubitak and all the LDCs Focal Points.

We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing our work together to make a difference in the lives of the people living in the poorest and most vulnerable countries, also known as LDCs.
