What is the HLC or High-Level Committee on the Review of TCDC?
The overall intergovernmental review of TCDC is entrusted to a high-level meeting of representatives of all countries participating in UNDP. This meeting was renamed the “High-Level Committee on the Review of TCDC” (HLC) in 1980. It meets biennially. The United Nations General Assembly has consistently endorsed the relevance of the recommendations of the HLC, underscoring the importance of implementing its decisions as a basis for strengthening TCDC. Within UNDP and in addition to other responsibilities, the Special Unit serves as a secretariat of the HLC.
