China-IFAD South-South and Triangular Cooperation Facility
The China-IFAD SSTC Facility mobilizes knowledge, technologies and resources from the Global South to end rural poverty.
That’s why IFAD takes a development approach that embraces solidarity and cooperation among countries and organizations in the Global South, known as South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC).
South-South cooperation happens when developing countries, organizations and civil societies pursue development objectives by exchanging knowledge, skills and resources. Triangular cooperation introduces a third element, that of donor countries and multilateral organizations, which provide technical, financial and in-kind support to strengthen these exchanges.
Together, these approaches can deliver tailored, cost-effective development solutions and build mutually beneficial partnerships.
We believe SSTC is key to revitalizing progress towards the SDGs and to addressing complex problems, like climate change and economic inequality. Importantly, IFAD ensures that SSTC is led by developing countries themselves and is measured by impacts on the ground.
IFAD, with its unique mandate of driving inclusive and sustainable food systems transformation, is well positioned to generate innovative solutions, build connections, and enable the sharing and up-taking of best practices – all essential components for SSTC.
