The “South-South in Action” publication series offers partners of UNOSSC, including United Nations entities, Member States, intergovernmental organizations and civil society, a platform for sharing best practices from their South-South and triangular cooperation initiatives. Launched in 2016, this flagship series of reports is facilitating the building of a knowledge bank of successful South-South initiatives.
