FAO's South-South and triangular cooperation strategy in action. Fostering partnerships among the Global South

Global demand for South-South Cooperation (SSC) and Triangular Cooperation (TrC) is at an all-time high. Countries in the South have much to share given their recent experiences in overcoming development challenges, where one country context can readily relate to another. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), business as usual will not deliver at the pace and scale required and SSC has a crucial role to play. The corporate SSC Strategy is part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) efforts to ensure the Organization is well positioned to rapidly respond to increasing requests to facilitate the scaling-up of knowledge and technologies that have contributed to enhancing agricultural and rural development and reducing hunger in the global South. The overarching strategy builds on FAO’s successful track record and sets out renewed direction, with focus on: 1. Facilitating exchanges of development solutions at the grassroots level 2. Promoting SSC knowledge networks and platforms at the institutional level 3. Providing upstream policy support 4. Fostering an enabling environment for effective SSC
