SOUTH-SOUTH GALAXY

South-South Galaxy is a global knowledge sharing and partnership brokering platform that will be able to respond more systematically and effectively in supporting Southern countries’ demand to connect, learn and collaborate with potential partners digitally. The digital platform will connect and unite all existing platforms, facilitating access, navigation and use for users to access a wide range of knowledge, solutions, research, and potential partner, promoting the integration of resources for South-South cooperation.

At this stage, South-South Galaxy starts from the existing information of the relevant UN South-South cooperation agencies and will continue to expand new content, striving to be a one-stop search and the most comprehensive supply and demand docking platform for South-South cooperation.
