South-South cooperation (SSC) has grown in quantum and geographic reach, through a diversity of approaches, modalities and instruments, constituting an important complementary source of financing and partnerships for sustainable development. Accounting these vast flows of human, financial, knowledge and technological transfer between developing countries and reporting on their impact remains a challenge for many governments as well as international institutions. Forty years from the adoption of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action (BAPA) an updated narrative needs to emerge that can effectively capture the new reality and role of South-South cooperation in the sustainable development era.
On the side-lines of the 2018 UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF), a Davos-style panel discussion will be held to on how to define, measure and report developing and emerging economies’ contributions towards the achievement of Agenda 2030.
The event, held under Chatham House rules, will provide important inputs and policy recommendations that will feed into the preparations and outcome of the second High-Level United Nations Conference on South-South Cooperation (BAPA+40 Conference), to be held in March 2019.
