OP-ED: The value of South-South cooperation

Have you ever wondered how key development solutions between and among countries of the Global South are conceived, exchanged and shared? The answer is: South-South cooperation.

In recent years, South-South cooperation and its close ally, Triangular Cooperation, have gained momentum in the development dialogue, having been acknowledged as an important mechanism in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Another Triangular Cooperation project was launched in 2016, in partnership with Japan, to promote sustainable agriculture, rural development, food security and trade, and achieve poverty alleviation in Africa. The project aimed to support the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme — the regional framework for agricultural transformation, wealth creation, food security and nutrition, economic growth and prosperity.

How is South-South cooperation helping countries map out their capacity needs and knowledge gaps and finding sustainable, cost-effective, long-lasting and economically viable solutions?, a 34-year-old from Mongolia, is one of the many beneficiaries of the FAO-China South-South Cooperation programme, who is now working in a greenhouse farm supported by the programme.
