The latest human development report found that although each of the 38 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries has recovered from the Covid pandemic, only half of the least-developed countries have done so.
“If you take [the index] as an average of all countries you see a story of recovery,” said Achim Steiner, the administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP). “But when you look more closely it is a recovery particular to high-income countries. It is not yet a recovery for the low-income and least-developed countries.”
