Economic Cooperation and Integration among Developing Countries
 
The Unit on Economic Cooperation and Integration among Developing Countries was created by the UNCTAD Secretary-General in July 2009, reinforcing the institution´s work on the reshaping of the global economic development architecture in which South-South cooperation is playing a growing role.
 
The Unit aims to build on UNCTAD`s longstanding work on the opportunities and challenges surrounding a renewed trend towards closer economic cooperation and integration among developing countries, work which goes back to its establishment in 1964.
