TCDC/13/3 - Revised Guidelines for the Review of Policies and Procedures Concerning Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (2003)

Technical cooperation among developing countries, widely known by the acronym TCDC, is essentially a process whereby two or more developing countries pursue their individual or collective development through cooperative exchanges of knowledge, skills, resources and technical know-how. Ideally, TCDC activities should be initiated, organized and managed by developing countries themselves with their Governments playing a lead role while involving public and private institutions, non-governmental organizations and individuals. TCDC is multidimensional in scope and can therefore include all sectors and all kinds of technical cooperation activities among developing countries, whether bilateral or multilateral, subregional, regional or interregional in character. The challenge is to marshal innovative approaches, methods and techniques that are particularly adapted to local needs and thus build upon existing modalities of technical cooperation which have proven useful.

The principal objectives of TCDC are spelled out in the Buenos Aires Plan of Action (BAPA) for Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation Among Developing Countries adopted at the United Nations Conference on Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries held in Buenos Aires from 30 August to 12 September 1978.
