The workshop f ollowed the voluntary framework established by countries of the Global Sou th and supported by United Nations agencies\, and took place at ECLAC head quarters in Santiago on July 28–29\, 2025.The event formed part of the s econd phase of the project “Quantifying South-South Cooperation to Mobil ize Funds for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\,” known as the M aster Stage. This phase focuses on assisting both pilot countries and new participants in strengthening their national information systems\, with th e aim of enabling consistent and sustainable measurement of SSC.The initia tive answers the call of the Second High-Level Conference on South-South C ooperation (BAPA+40) and aligns with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (2015) and SDG Target 17.3\, which encourages mobilizing additional development r esources from diverse sources. Participants included national technical te ams from Argentina\, Chile\, Ecuador\, Peru\, the Dominican Republic\, and Uruguay\, alongside institutions such as UNCTAD and ECLAC\, with key supp ort from the Colombian Presidential Agency for International Cooperation ( APC-Colombia). Notably\, Latin America and the Caribbean stands out as the only region to increase its number of pilot countries beyond the original group\, signaling strong political commitment to advancing this measureme nt agenda.The workshop’s main goal was to help countries prepare their f irst national report based on the Conceptual Framework for Measuring South -South Cooperation (SSC Framework). To support this\, the program combined technical presentations\, peer exchange sessions\, and hands-on exercises focused on identifying available data\, mapping institutions involved in international cooperation\, and applying the framework’s methodological tools.Following the workshop\, participating countries committed to prepar ing an initial draft of their national reports under the SSC Framework in the second half of 2025\, along with organizing bilateral follow-up meetin gs with ECLAC in the coming weeks.This collective effort reinforces the re gion’s role as a reference point in measuring South-South Cooperation\, highlighting that shared learning and sustained political commitment are k ey to advancing more inclusive and sustainable development.<\;p>\;Dele gates from Latin America and the Caribbean took part in a Regional Worksho p on Quantifying South-South Cooperation (SSC)\, a collaborative learning event designed to enhance technical and institutional capacities for measu ring and reporting this form of cooperation.
