Disaster Risk Reduction
Abstract
Cooperation among development partners is a key driver of development effectiveness to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The World Bank has recognized the importance of linking knowledge and expertise across the globe and identified the support and promotion of South-South and South-North partnerships and dialogue as a strategic priority within its knowledge and learning agenda. Over the past years, a number of initiatives have pioneered South-South cooperation. By pooling knowledge, research, and analysis, these early collaborations have enabled a rethinking of issues, methods, and approaches, and the systematic dissemination of knowledge to relevant actors. Areas of successful collaboration include agriculture, trade, and healthcare. Similar cooperation has been evident after recent major disasters, when South-South assistance played an important role in disaster response, reconstruction, emergency preparedness, and longer-term risk reduction
