Abstract

The G20 brings together the world’s largest development cooperation providers from both the ‘developed’ and the ‘developing’ world, and thus offers an important space for recalibrating the road towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This policy brief a argues that G20 countries should join hands to promote triangular cooperation as a modality for mobilising material, symbolic, and ideational resources across continents, political ideologies, and development trajectories. This policy brief suggests that the G20 should (i) establish a matchmaking mechanism to identify triangular cooperation opportunities among its members;(ii) setup a trust fund for triangular cooperation at the United Nations; (iii) establish a stakeholder forum for triangular partnerships where state and non-state actors can discuss priorities and engage with G20 support schemes; and (iv) combine the reporting and evaluation capacities across G20 countries to monitor whether and how triangular schemes contribute to the implementation of the SDGs.
