South-South Cooperation at the 2023 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development
A piece of the Sustainable Development Goals puzzle, SDG 3 - Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. World Health Day is celebrated each year on 7 April. The theme for 2019 was Universal Health Care.
The HLPF is the central United Nations platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global level.
South-South and triangular cooperation are a valuable catalyst in galvanizing political will and in enhancing know-how to implement the much needed economic and social reforms to rescue the SDGs. Recognizing this, countries are increasingly integrating South-South and triangular cooperation in the preparation and presentation of their voluntary national reviews (VNRs).
UNOSSC supported several events during the HLPF, and together with the Co-chairs of the Group of Friends of Voluntary National Reviews (the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the UN and the Permanent Mission of the Philippines to the UN), launched the Handbook to Support Integrating South-South and Triangular Cooperation in the Voluntary National Reviews.

Integrating South-South and Triangular Cooperation in Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) to Support Acceleration of the SDGs Implementation
Co-organized by the Co-chairs of the Group of Friends of Voluntary National Reviews (the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the UN and the Permanent Mission of the Philippines to the UN) and the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation.
During the event, a new capacity development tool, the Handbook to Support Integrating South-South and Triangular Cooperation in the Voluntary National Reviews, was launched. The 2022 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Ministerial Declaration and the latest UNGA Resolution on South-South Cooperation highlight the importance of integrating South-South and triangular cooperation in VNRs. In response, UNOSSC in collaboration with the co-chairs of the Group of Friends of VNRs, UN entities and other stakeholders has prepared a handbook which provides step-by-step guidance, drawing from good practices, and examples, on integrating South-South and triangular cooperation into the perpetration and presentation of VNRs. The handbook complements the existing VNR guidance and tools that have been developed and used.
