Synopsis (short abstract) There is a growing consensus around the world, affirming South-South and Triangular Cooperation as effective instruments for catalyzing agricultural development. South-South Cooperation (SSC) is widely accepted as a complementary model of development cooperation to the traditional North- South model, in overcoming common challenges and achieving food security, poverty reduction and the sustainable management of natural resources. South-South Cooperation is the mutual sharing and exchange of key development solutions – knowledge, experiences and good practices, policies, technology, and resources – between and among countries in the global south. Triangular Cooperation (TrC) refers to partnerships between two or more developing countries in collaboration with a third partner, typically a developed country/traditional donor, emerging economy and/or multilateral organization to share key development solutions – knowledge, capacity, expertise, experiences and good practices, policies, tech nology and resources.

    Global demand for South-South Cooperation (SSC) and Triangular Cooperation (TrC) is at an all-time high. Countries in the South have much to share given their recent experiences in overcoming development challenges, where one country context can readily relate to another. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), business as usual will not deliver at the pace and scale required and SSC has a crucial role to play. The corporate SSC Strategy is part of the Food and Agriculture Organizat ion of the United Nations’ (FAO) efforts to ensure the Organization is well positioned to rapidly respond to increasing requests to facilitate the scaling-up of knowledge and technologies that have contributed to enhancing agricultural and rural development and reducing hunger in the global South. The overarching strategy builds on FAO’s successful track record and sets out renewed direction, with focus on: 1. Facilitating exchanges of development solutions at the grassroots level 2. Promoting S SC knowledge networks and platforms at the institutional level 3. Providing upstream policy support 4. Fostering an enabling environment for effective SSC
