@UNOHRLLS For the Landlocked Countries, the challenges of #connectivity are real. Let us use #LLDCs3 as an opportunity to agree on solutions to bridge the #connectivitygap & #skillsgap and use digital as a catalyst for achieving the #SDGS

[UN-OHRLLS @UNOHRLLS]

Digital connectivity is crucial for bridging geographical gaps, enhancing access to education, healthcare, gvt services & more in #LLDCs.
