The document discusses the role and advantages of South-South cooperation in sustainable development, using renewable energy as an example. It argues that countries with similar socio-economic contexts have much to learn from each other's experiences and solutions in areas like technology development, knowledge sharing, and governance. Examples are given of innovative renewable energy programs in various developing countries that could be shared more widely through South-South cooperation, like microfinancing solar programs in Bangladesh and micro-mini grids in India. For such cooperation to be effective, it needs to be institutionalized and promoted by local governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders. The Post-2015 development agenda recognizes the importance of new global partnerships, and South-South partnerships should be able to thrive

Smart Villages

Bangkok | Mar-17 | Women and their role in Smart villages

Smart Villages

Women play a key role in developing smart villages through entrepreneurship and providing sustainable solutions. They can help disseminate energy solutions through their community networks. Examples from countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Cambodia show how women are providing off-grid solar power and clean water, generating income and investing in their communities. For smart villages to be inclusive and sustainable, women need access to education, financing, mentors, and an enabling environment that supports their economic participation and challenges social norms. Meeting basic needs, empowering women with assets and opportunities, and transforming underlying power structures are all part of developing smart villages that leave no one behind.
