Nepal graduation status

Nepal is scheduled to graduate on 24 November 2026 (see the General Assembly resolution ).

On 15 May 2026, the Government of Nepal requested an extension of the preparatory period for its graduation from the LDC category. In response, the CDP prepared a crisis assessment under its enhanced monitoring mechanism. The CDP concluded that an extension of the preparatory period by the General Assembly would be appropriate, provided that the extension is linked to the development and implementation of a clear and time-bound plan to adjust and reprioritize its smooth transition strategy. The crisis assessment is available . In a adopted on 21 July, ECOSOC took note of the CDP's conclusions and suggested courses of action and recommended that the General Assembly take action on this matter before 24 November 2026.
