FAO is recognized as a leading facilitator of South-South Cooperation (SSC) for food security and agricultural development. With over two decades of experience, FAO has helped to “make the match” between Southern country demand and supply, as well as ensure the quality of exchange. Middle Income Countries (MICs) are increasingly contributing to the global development agenda, and many are leading figures in SSC, providing technical expertise and financial support to countries in the South.

South-South Cooperation (SSC) is an effective and efficient means to achieving a world without hunger. Countries of the global south exchanging development solutions will strongly contribute to the accomplishment of food security, poverty reduction and the sustainable management of natural resources.
