Supporting South-South and Triangular Cooperation
South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) aligns partnerships, knowledge sharing and policy engagement across the Global South.
South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) is an integral part of IFAD’s work and helps achieve sustainable and inclusive rural transformation by building trust, forging partnerships, sharing knowledge, leveraging resources and scaling up proven solutions.
Established in 2018 with a supplementary contribution of US$10 million from China, the China-IFAD SSTC Facility is IFAD’s first facility dedicated to SSTC. It aims to mobilize knowledge, technologies and resources from the Global South to accelerate rural poverty alleviation, enhance rural productivity and advance sustainable rural transformation.
Using a demand-driven approach, projects are developed, owned and executed by the recipient organizations, including government agencies, international organizations, NGOs and the private sectors, following IFAD’s policies, procedures and guidelines.
Facility-funded projects are implemented in accordance with national priorities as outlined in the relevant Country Strategic Opportunities Programme (COSOP) to maximize development impact. These cover a broad range of themes – including climate change, gender, nutrition and youth – and target smallholder farmers, farmers’ organizations and small agribusinesses.
With the launch of its Phase II in 2025, the China-IFAD SSTC Facility is further strengthening its support for IFAD country operations, with priority given to:
