Vi ved mere og må handle derefter

Several developments have contributed to placing South-South Cooperation front and centre of the development assistance agenda both within research and policy circles. 

We now have several decades of increasingly intense and systematic South-South cooperation to look back at and a better, though far from perfect, documentation of lessons learned.

This expanded empirical base allows policy-makers and academics alike to analyse the aggregated experiences to develop policy and conduct research. 

Finally, the Sustainable Development Goals (dagsorden 2030) adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 highlight South-South cooperation and learning as an important assistance modality. 

The research and evidence-focused seminar invites decision-makers and practitioners in donor capitals, within the multilateral system, academia and in the NGO community to a dialogue on the role of external actors in supporting south-south and triangular cooperation.

The seminar is part of a broader series of initiatives hosted by Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) respectively, aimed at directing attention towards, and trigger discussion around support to the implementation of the new Sustainable Development Goals.
