Involving the individual
Though the south south co-operation is intended to be an exchange of expertise between governments, organizations and individuals, it is still only an exchange at governmental levels. A lot needs to be done to bring co-operation to the individual level. the question is whether there are effective and sustainable mechanisms to involve the individual.
