More about South-South Co-operation

 

Why does South-South Co-operation matter in the context of aid effectiveness?


In the quickly changing global development governance, SSC is a diverse form of co-operation among developing countries. In this context, the TT-SSC focuses documenting, analysing and discussing practice of SSC and their synergies with the aid effectiveness agenda, particularly addressing a “three-fold mandate” emerging from the Accra Agenda for Action (article 19):

 

• Adapting the Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action principles for SSC (AAA art. 19a);


• Enriching the effectiveness agenda with the practices and experiences of SSC (AAA art. 19b); and


• Identifying complementarities between SSC and North-South co-operation (AAA art. 19e).

 

The TT’s analytical work focuses on the practice of technical co-operation particularly led by Middle-Income Countries as both providers and recipients of development assistance. At the global level, the TT-SSC aims to contribute to the evolving global effectiveness agenda by boosting horizontal partnerships and peer learning, making technical co-operation more useful, promoting Southern expertise and contributing to develop capacities.
