class="title">Mainstreaming the Needs of LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS</p> ICTs help the least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developed countries (LLDCs), and small island developing states (SIDS), to address their specific development challenges. LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS face a number of connectivity barriers: many LDCs have large land areas and rural populations, and are sparsely populated, which makes the roll-out of terrestrial communication infrastructure more difficult. LLDCs lack direct access to the sea and many SIDS have numerous islands and often face high communication.<br> <a href="https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/LDCs" class="ituBtn" target=_self> Learn more </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="ituContainer grid"> <a class="ituCard bg anim bgButton" data-span="6" href="https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs" > <div class="bgContainer"> <img src="https://www.itu.int/itu-d/sites/priorities/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2023/05/SDG_bannerV3.jpg" class="icon" alt="icon" /> <div class="content"> <div class="main"> <p class="title">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)</p> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a class="ituCard bg anim bgButton" data-span="6" href="https://www.itu.int/en/itu-wsis" > <div class="bgContainer"> <img src="https://www.itu.int/itu-d/sites/priorities/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2023/05/WSIS-Banner-V3.jpg" class="icon" alt="icon" /> <div class="content"> <div class="main"> <p class="title">World Summit on the Information Society Forum (WSIS)</p> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="ituContainer grid"> <div data-span="12"> </div> </div> <div class="ituContainer grid"> <div data-span="12"> <section> <div class="ituContainer grid"> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="ituContainer grid"> <div data-span="12"> <div class="ituContainer"> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> </article> </main></body> <footer> <div class="ituContainer grid"> <div data-span="3"> <span class="ituFooterTitle">ITU</span> <div class="ituFooterMenu"> <ul><li data-span="3"><a href="https://www.itu.int/home/contact/index.html">Contact us</a></li> <li data-span="3"><a href="https://www.itu.int/en/about/Pages/privacy-notice.aspx">Privacy notice</a></li> <li data-span="3"><a href="https://www.itu.int/en/Pages/accessibility.aspx">Accessibility</a></li> <li data-span="3"><a href="https://www.itu.int/en/ethics/Pages/helpline.aspx">Report misconduct</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div data-span="3"> <span class="ituFooterTitle">Connect with ITU</span> <div class="ituFooterMenu"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ITU/" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i>Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ituofficial/" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-instagram"></i>Instagram</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/itu" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i>Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/itutelecommunication" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-youtube"></i>Youtube</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/itupictures/albums" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-flickr"></i>Flickr</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-telecommunication-union/mycompany/verification/" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></i>Linkedin</a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2bdlpMRJwDfwR3v38PwvoY" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-spotify"></i>Spotify</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itu?lang=fr" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-tiktok"></i>Tiktok</a> </div> </div> <div class="ituFooterQuicklinks" data-span="12"><nav aria-label="Footer ITU links menu"> <div class="menu"><ul> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> <li data-span="3"><a></a></li> </ul></div> </nav></div> <div class="ituCopyright" data-span="12"> © 2024 ITU.
