Resumo
Triangular cooperation is, in many ways, a modality with the potential to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The modality must, however, provide comprehensive initiatives that take into consideration the multifaceted nature of regional integration in the developing world. There is a need to identify and examine the significant structural and economic barriers that developing regions face in increasing trade and investment. This will require drawing from resources to build platforms and improve infrastructure, enhance institutions and harmonize economic policies on a regional level. Through engagement in discourse on South-South trade and investment opportunities, it becomes less challenging to promote regional policies and economic frameworks that facilitate regional trade and investment for the achievement of the SDGs. In this light, we can then begin to ask comprehensively analytical questions such as how the implications of mobilizing the private sector in the Global South can leverage effective contributions towards economic development.
