PPD and UNFPA jointly organizing a capacity building program for national South-South Cooperation (SSC) focal persons and other relevant officials from the PPD 27 member countries from 26th to 27th October 2021.
Since April 2018 with the signing of the MoU, PPD reinvigorated its partnership with UNFPA and has taken initiatives to conduct capacity building program for National SSC Focal persons with the aim to improve their skills and abilities in conducting SSC activities in their countries for the implementation of PPD Strategic framework. The UNOSSC also emphasized, during the BAPA+40 Conference held in 2019, that capacity building programs for the National SSC Focal persons are essential in order to promote SSC globally. While the Global pandemic COVID-19 impacted profoundly on RH, population and development which exacerbated the overall challenges in attaining the progress of ICPD25 and agenda 2030, the capacity building program for national SSC focal persons is getting more relevant than ever. A recent survey on ICPD25 and SDGs through SSC beyond COVID-19 (2020) conducted by PPD in collaboration with UNFPA recommended that national SSC focal persons need better capacity building for greater contribution towards achieving national Commitments taken at Nairobi Summit on ICPD@25 held in 2019 and the SDGs 2030 agenda.
