The United Nations General Assembly decided to hold in 1981 the first United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries in Paris. At that Conference the international community unanimously adopted the Substantial New Programme of Action for the 1980s for the Least Developed Countries(SNPA), containing guidelines for domestic action by LDCs, which were to be complemented by international support measures. However, despite major policy reforms initiated by many LDCs to carry out a structural transformation of their domestic economies, and supportive measures taken by a number of donors in the areas of aid, debt and trade, the economic situation of these countries as a whole worsened during the 1980s. 1, record 5, English, - Substantial%20New%20Programme%20of%20Action%20for%20the%201980s%20for%20the%20Least%20Developed%20Countries
