South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) plays an indispensable role in today’s development landscape. It represents a shared vision among the peoples and countries of the South that is shaped by close historical realities, similar development pathways, as well as shared challenges.

UNDP considers SSTC as a fundamental approach to development cooperation and is viewed as an effective interlocutor, leveraging its network of offices, policy centers and expertise at global, regional and country levels to foster SSTC.

SSTC is in UNDP’s DNA, as the Organization has a long history as a trusted knowledge broker, partnership facilitator, and a capacity development facilitator of SSTC. Check out this tool to learn about UNDP’s experiences in SSTC.
