Abstract

The study aimed to review and develop a policy framework for data-driven, sustainable supply chain governance and global collaboration in LDCs. The study was based on secondary data and an exploratory design based on general case studies of Bangladesh, Rwanda, Uganda, Nepal, Ghana, Cambodia, and Bhutan. The findings reveal that infrastructure deficits, institutional failure, technical power shortfalls, and political and administrative gaps hinder transformation despite hopeful changes. The study adopts a seven-step integrated policy approach to create digital infrastructure, data governance frameworks, analytics functionality, traceability frameworks, adaptive governance functions, multi-stakeholder cooperation, and inclusive socio-economic outcomes. The study provides a theoretical framework for sustainable supply chain digitization in a resource-scarce context and offers practical guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and international development organizations.
