Volltext/Fulll text

This week, the United Nations (UN) High-Level Committee on South-South Cooperation convenes in New York City, and virtually. For the first time in five years, member state representatives and UN officials gather in this setting to review and advise on how the UN system engages with South-South and triangular cooperation. This contribution discusses recent developments and suggests that delegates should encourage stakeholders to (1) be more explicit about what they mean by South-South cooperation; (2) carefully explore ways to expand UN engagement with triangular schemes; and (3) ask UN entities to focus more explicitly on what South-South stakeholders need and want.
