Synopsis (short abstract) South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) is rapidly gaining ground as a powerful delivery mechanism in the development cooperation landscape. It has been recognized as a key means of implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with particular reference to UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. SSTC initiatives, facilitated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), may involve two or more countries of the global South, sometimes in collaboration with a third party. By sharing innovative development solutions, such as knowledge, policies, technologies and resources, countries are able to overcome challenges that once seemed insurmountable.
