South-South Co-operation at LDC5
LDC5 is a key opportunity for LDCs to mobilize international support including from Southern partners. Grounded in the spirit of solidarity and empowered by its capacity to leverage expertise and resources, South-South cooperation can play a catalytic role in LDCs efforts to mobilize financial and technical resources and innovative solutions for the timely implementation of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA).
The DPoA represents a new generation of global partnerships built on renewed and strengthened commitments by LDCs and their development partners to achieve recovery from the pandemic, build resilience and accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
The South-South cooperation track aims to provide a platform to forge broad partnerships in support of deliverables of the DPoA. During the preparatory process, a thorough review of the role of South-South cooperation and good practices in leveraging it as an important means of implementation in the implementation of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA) has been conducted.
