▶UNOSSC, creating bridges of
solidarity
The United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) was created
in 1974 to promote, coordinate and support South-South and triangular
cooperation globally and within the United Nations system. This
agency works to support countries’ efforts to manage, design and implement
South-South cooperation policies and initiatives through the identification,
sharing and transfer of successful Southern-generated development solutions.
The “South-South Galaxy” is
a global knowledge-sharing and partnership platform launched in 2019. The
project aims to give systematic and effective support to countries of the
South, so they can connect, learn and collaborate with potential partners in
the wider digital world. Now the platform offers, as well, a great number
of webinars adapted
to the new COVID-19 situation and the UNOSSC's response
to the pandemic.
▶Why do we mark International Days?
International days
and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of
concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems,
and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of
international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN
has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.
