Prospects for South-South Cooperation in the ESCWA Region
January 2011
The experience of countries in other developing regions has demonstrated that South-South cooperation has the potential to play an important role in the generation of employment, the alleviation of poverty and the attainment of inclusive, sustained economic development through technical assistance, knowledge exchange and technology transfer. The study represents the first exploration by ESCWA of the potential for greater cooperation between member countries and other countries of the global South. It has been conducted with a view to broadening the understanding of the potential of South-South cooperation across a number of sectors and is intended to pave the way for further research in this growing field.
