FAO South-South Cooperation

01/01/2023

As a facilitator of South-South Cooperation (SSC), FAO brings together countries that have development solutions with countries that are also interested in applying them.Both South-South (SSC) and Triangular Cooperation (TrC) have proven effective in creating jobs, building infrastructure and promoting trade in countries across the global South. They seek to boost a broad framework for collaboration among developing countries and offer a complementary model to the traditional relationship between donors and recipients.

As SSC plays a greater role than ever before in tackling food insecurity, global demand for Southern development solutions that have been tested and proven effective is at an all-time high.
