IV.4 SECTORAL ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION IN 2017 In this sense, the type of problems that Regional SSC addresses, as well as the sectoral profile it underlies, is strongly related to the nature of the multilateral organizations that join the countries in the search for solutions. The majority of these institutions are precisely specialized in addressing the problems that initiatives try to solve. Exceptionally, though, some of them are of a more political nature.
The fact that Regional South-South Cooperation is a modality in which so many stakeholders of such a different nature participate, sheds light on its higher complexity. These stakeholders tend to recur to this modality and to join efforts to enhance this cooperation, precisely in the search for collaborative synergies and solutions to face development problems, which are usually common to all parties, with greater strength.
