  • United Nations Inter-Agency Mechanism for South-South and Triangular Cooperation

In response to the General Assembly resolution 72/237 of 23 January 2018, in 2018, UNOSSC established an inter-agency mechanism to encourage joint UN support to South-South and triangular initiatives and sharing of information on development activities as well as results achieved by various organizations. Since then, UNOSSC has been regularly coordinating the Inter-Agency Mechanism for South-South cooperation across the United Nations system, including coordination of the inputs from UN Agencies into the preparatory process of the Second United Nations High-level Conference on South-South Cooperation.

 

United Nations system-wide strategy on South-South and triangular cooperation for sustainable development (2026-2029)

As mandated by the United Nations Secretary-General, the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) led the development of the United Nations System-wide Strategy on South-South and Triangular Cooperation for Sustainable Development (2026–2029) through an inclusive and system-wide consultative process involving Member States and over 30 United Nations entities within the framework of the United Nations Inter-Agency Mechanism for South-South and Triangular Cooperation. Building on the previous strategy and its independent evaluation, the new Strategy provides a coherent, results-oriented framework to strengthen system-wide coordination, coherence, and accountability in advancing South-South and triangular cooperation across policy, programmatic, and partnership dimensions. It introduces a streamlined accountability framework, including a results-based annual action plan and a system-wide scorecard, alongside enhanced monitoring, evaluation, and reporting mechanisms supported by digital and AI-enabled platforms. The Strategy also reinforces the role of South-South and triangular cooperation as core modalities of United Nations support to Member States and aligns with broader United Nations development system reforms and intergovernmental mandates, including BAPA+40. Implementation will be guided through a reinvigorated Inter-Agency Mechanism and supported by the operationalization of the Global Alliance for South-South and Triangular Cooperation to catalyze partnerships, scale solutions, and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
