| Summary: | A growing body of evidence suggests that
learning and cooperation among developing nations is
increasing n both frequency and complexity and expanding
from just economic cooperation to include a variety of
topics: health, education, communication, research, and
development. Due to shared backgrounds and challenges,
people in developing nations are banding together as peers
to find new and innovative solutions to development issues.
Reviews of technical cooperation suggest that South-South
learning is often more effective in developing capacity than
one-way knowledge transfers from the North. This brief
identifies trends in this phenomenon for practitioners of
capacity development and highlights some successful cases of
South-South learning and cooperation. |
