The South-South Executive Brief features news stories, analyses and policy-level interviews focusing on increasing bilateral, trilateral, regional and inter-regional relations among developing countries.

The newsletter is published monthly by the IPS UN Bureau, in cooperation with the Special Unit for South-South Cooperation within the U.N. Development Programme (UNDP).

Content includes stories relating to regional and inter-regional developments on issues such as economic, social, trade, financial and investments; common challenges facing multilateralism; fight against HIV/AIDS and malaria; climate change; water and sanitation; education and information and communications technologies. A special area of focus is the world’s 50 least developing countries (LDCs).

Stories originate mostly in New York, but also from IPS correspondents and stringers in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
