Capacity Building in Education Sector: An Exploratory Study on Indian and African Relations

South-South Cooperation is a broad framework for collaboration among countries of the South in the political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and technical domains. Involving two or more developing countries, it can take place on a bilateral, regional, sub-regional or interregional basis. Developing countries share knowledge, skills, expertise and resources to meet their development goals through concerted efforts. Looking at the past two decades there has been a surge in South-South economic cooperation– including trade, investment, development assistance and other financial flows. Furthermore, China, India and Brazil are also increasingly active as so-called ‘emerging donors’, both in Africa and in their respective neighbourhood, and the past years have witnessed an unprecedented growth of what can be called ‘South–South aid.’
