- Abstract
- United Nations (UN) entities have repeatedly been asked to mainstream their
support for South-South and triangular cooperation (SSTC). However, there is
hardly any systematic evidence on whether and how they have done so. This article
contributes to addressing this gap. The analysis focuses on organizational efforts
over the last two decades to integrate SSTC support into institutional processes
across the UN development system. It centers around a scorecard of fifteen UN
entities that maps the levels and contours of their organizational focus on SSTC.
In light of a highly diverse SSTC support landscape and the complex political
dynamics behind mainstreaming efforts, the article discusses the way ahead for UN
engagement with SSTC, including the potentials and challenges of a continued focus
on mainstreaming itself.
