This paper was produced for the World Institute for Development Economics Research at the United Nations University (UNU-WIDER) and aimed to understand the drivers behind the changes in the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger’s (MDS) cooperation with African countries, and also to systematize lessons learned by MDS. In doing so, we sought to contribute to the international debate over the effectiveness of South-South cooperation for development, unpacking the challenges and opportunities encountered by developing countries to allocate human and financial resources in promoting international development.
