South-South Cooperation: A Pathway to a Sustainable and Inclusive Future

Commemorating today’s United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation, Dima Al-Khatib, Director of the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation shows that South-South Cooperation is a powerful vehicle that fosters inclusive growth, mutual learning, and shared success. In her think-piece South-South Cooperation: A Pathway to a Sustainable and Inclusive Future,  Al-Khatib shares examples from such cooperation, ranging from improving health systems and enhancing agricultural productivity to advancing education and technology. She highlights the pivotal role of the UN Office for South-South Cooperation in promoting, coordinating, and supporting South-South Co-operation, including through their digital platform South-South Galaxy, the South-South and Triangular Cooperation Solutions Lab, and specific South-South Trust Funds. Al-Khatib argues that through South-South and triangular cooperation, we can turn today’s challenges with regard to climate change, economic uncertainties, debt injustice, conflict, and the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic into opportunities for transformative equitable change.
