UN and India launch initial projects under South'South cooperation initiative
Summary
The UN and India launched initial projects under a global capacity-building initiative aimed at sharing Indian development experience with partner countries in the global South.
The United Nations and the Government of India have launched an initial set of projects under a new UN-India global capacity-building initiative designed to promote South'South cooperation and help other developing countries apply Indian innovations aligned with national priorities.
The initiative will implement selected projects with national partners in the Caribbean, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Nepal, South Sudan and Zambia to strengthen digital health, health, food security, census preparedness and vocational skills training. The briefing said the work is supported initially by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation programme.
The remarks did not list project budgets, timelines, or implementing UN agencies by project; the briefing said further announcements on additional travel and engagements would follow later in the month.
