Potential Partners
Since the adoption of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action for Promoting and Implementing Technical Co-operation among Developing Countries (BAPA), at the 1978 United Nations Conference in Buenos Aires, the development landscape has shifted, and international development cooperation dynamics and modalities have evolved. Triangular co-operation is a transformative modality that builds on the complementary strengths of different development partners to bring innovative and flexible solutions to address dynamic development challenges. It can arise from a combination of South-South and North-South Co-operation, creating horizontal coalitions around the pursuit of shared development goals. During this side event, participants will discuss the following topics:
