THE MOTTO OF THE GSSD EXPO IS SOLUTIONS, SOLUTIONS, SOLUTIONS

The Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo) is the FIRST EVER Expo solely from the South and for the South. It showcases successful Southern-grown development solutions (SDSs) to address the need to meet Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It is designed as a concrete response to the strong commitment made by the Secretary-General and the UNDP Administrator to help the global South realize its shared aspirations for achieving sustainable and equitable development through the sharing and transfer of SDSs, with the support of the donor community and the multilateral system under innovative triangular and public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements. It also constitutes one of the Special Unit’s three global and United Nations system-wide South-South support platforms.


Programme Brochure

 

Ban Ki-moon

The growing trend among Southern countries to look not only to reducing poverty within their own borders but also to raise the development prospects of other developing countries is exhibited across a range of countries, including strong emerging economies and other South-South pivotal countries.

Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General, United Nations

Helen Clark

Developmentally-focused South-South flows of finance, technology, and know-how must be recognized and further encouraged as an increasingly important dimension of development co-operation.

Helen Clark, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme

Jacques Diouf

The technology gap between countries also needs to be bridged. Capacity building through knowledge transfer using North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation arrangements should be strengthened to achieve sustainable increases in agricultural production and productivity.

Director-General of FAO, Mr. Jacques Diouf
