South-South in Action

South-South in Action: Spring 2011 Issue

The concept of South-South cooperation is increasingly recognized as an integral component of sustainable global development, and initiatives that transfer technology, expert knowledge and investment from one developing country to another are gaining critical support among members of the international community. But because many of these exchanges take place without the involvement of media-rich donor countries, they too often attract little or no attention from the mainstream press.

To help fill this gap in the coverage of developing country partnerships, MediaGlobal produces and distributes South-South in Action, a detailed news magazine covering issues of South-South cooperation. The magazine centres on the cultural, political, economic and scientific aspects of cross-border collaboration.

The magazine highlights current trends in South-South cooperation, as well as North-South and triangular partnerships. Contributing correspondents follow the most significant South-South events, often focusing on the work of the United Nations Development Programme’s Special Unit for South-South Cooperation (SU/SSC).

Topics also include the activities of the Group of 77 developing nations (G77), the emergence of a vibrant creative economy between countries of the South and the sharing of medical and technological advances between nations affected by the same health crises and economic challenges.
