EvalforEarth Discussion Summary:Maximizing the Impact of South-South and Triangular Cooperation Issued on 2025 by EvalforEarth

The discussion from 24 April- 29 May 2025 underscored that South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) represents more than just funding to rural and Southern partners-it is a collaborative, learning-oriented pathway toward sustainable development. Effective evaluation in this sphere must move beyond conventional metrics, embracing participatory, context-sensitive, systems-based approaches capable of capturing relational and pedagogical outcomes. Strengthening capacity, co-designing evaluation frameworks with Southern leadership, and institutionalizing evidence into planning are key next steps toward maximizing SSTC’s impact.
