The Task Team on South-South Cooperation's (TT-SSC) main objective leading up to the Fourth High Level Forum is to deliver evidence-based policy recommendations. Mutual learning between southern practictioners and north-south practitioners will be encourage with the aim of identifying effective practices.
The TT-SSC derives its mandate from three main areas under the Accra Agenda for Action:
- adapting aid effectiveness principles to SSC practices
- enriching aid effectiveness from SSC experiences
- identifying complementarities between North-South and South-South Cooperation
Future work
In 2010-2011, areas of focus will be:
- deepening analytical work with case studies and case stories
- building and linking up with communities of practice
- policy advocacy and outreach
The main deliverables for HLF 4 are:
- policy recommendations to inform the HLF-4 outcome document, drawn from the analytical work and on-line community of practice (as below)
- good practice note that summarises the findings of analytical work, comprised of approximately 15 case studies and additional case stories which are shared and validated through an on-line platform of southern practitioners
