At this pivotal juncture in Rwanda’s development trajectory, the country has registered notable gains in social development and economic transformation. As both a Least Developed Country (LDC) and a Landlocked Developing Country (LLDC), Rwanda stands on the threshold of graduating from LDC cateogry, a transition that brings both significant opportunities and emerging challenges.

The UN General Assembly, in resolution 78/322, noted that a country’s vulnerability to adverse external shocks in all dimensions is a threat to its sustainable development. This is true even for developing countries with a high national income as they can be structurally less resilient.

The 32 landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) face a unique set of vulnerabilities to climate change due to their geographic circumstances, structural economic challenges, and limited mitigation and adaptation capacities.

Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) face structural challenges with transport and trade processes that contribute to high logistical costs on trade. This report develops a dataset on unit logistics costs measured in $/ton, disaggregated by origin, destination, commodity, and mode of transport, as the basis of a comparative analysis of LLDC logistics costs relative to other economies.
