funding, etc. should be discussed and concrete
and actionable recommendations made.

The need for more active participation
of the private sector in scaling up South-South
trade and investment flows and technology
transfer (especially among indigenous and
young entrepreneurs and SMEs) that are likely
to contribute to achieving the MDGs on health,
food security, education, etc. and make recommendations
to move forward.
Focus of WG 3:
The need for systematic mapping (documenting)
and marketing (disseminating) Southern Development
capacities for addressing MDGs, and mobilizing
all pivotal partners to facilitate and support
the matching of needs with such capacities,
through innovative South-South and triangular
cooperation arrangements, and make concrete
recommendations for implementation. |
