The Least Developed Countries, 1999 Report, is the fifteenth in the series of annual reports issued by the UNCTAD secretariat. The annual report on the Least Developed Countries are the most comprehensive and authoritative source of socio-economic analysis and data on the world´s 48 least developed countries. The main focus of this year´s Report is the challenge of improving productive capacities in LDCs and overcoming their marginalization. The Report reveals that underlying LDCs´ poor productive capacities and competitiveness are structural and supply-side constraints including the lack of linkages within and between productive, service and infrastructural sectors which limits the potential for specialization and gains in productivity, insufficiently developed human resources, deficiencies in the physical infrastructures and other support services. There are also shortcomings in productive units related to weak technological capability and adaptive research and the inability of LDCs economies to generate adequate resources for investing in alleviating these constraints in order to enhance productive capacity.
