BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 14. The Global South
Network has been recognized by the UN Office for South-South
Cooperation as a model platform for effective solutions, Ramil
Iskandarli, the Chairman of the Board of the Azerbaijan National
NGO Forum, said, Trend reports.
He made the remark during the 1st General Assembly of the Global
South NGO Platform, held as part of “Baku Urban Planning Week.”
“This is clear evidence of growing international attention and
trust. At the same time, this success directly reflects Sustainable
Development Goal 17—the philosophy of global partnership,” he
noted.
Iskandarli stated that the Global South Network is viewed as one
of the important and sustainable legacies of civil society. The
network has already been recognized by international organizations
and authoritative centers: “We have participated in many global and
regional events in cities such as London, Bonn, Nairobi, Addis
Ababa, and, finally, Baku, where we shared our experience.”
According to Iskandarli, the experience of the Agency for State
Support of Non-Governmental Organizations in encouraging local NGOs
to engage in international cooperation serves as a solid foundation
for future activities. Financial support for Global South
cooperation sends an important signal for the future.
