Since 2015, RIS has been conducting the program on Learning South -South cooperation (LSSC) under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) of the Ministry of External Affairs. In these years around 150 participants from more than 50 countries spread across the developing regions of Latin America, Africa and Asia have participated in this program. It is noteworthy that ITEC programme, initiated in 1964, completed its 55 years of journey this year. The present program is the fifth in the series with 31 participants from 25 countries, representing diverse sections from their respective societies brining in diplomats, government officials, researchers, academics, media persons and development practitioners. At the Annual RIS conference on South-South Cooperation, popularly called as Delhi Process in August 2019, RIS launched University-Think-tank Connect for bringing the two groups together. At this course we could make a beginning by bringing in observers from University system. I’m sure in future we would be able to expand the foot print. The present report is a compilation of the reflections by the participants of the Fifth LSSC program held at RIS between 11th and 22nd November, 2019. The course was designed to have three modules that elaborated on the theoretical framework of SSC, global development cooperation architecture and current global issues and challenges faced by SSC. The contributions from the participants are considered to be an effective learning outcome of this program. The compendium is divided into two parts. While the first part concentrates on some of the general issues related to SSC, the second part delves into country-specific experiences. All the contributions to highlight the spirit of solidarity – the main driving force of cooperation among the southern countries. It is expected that this compilation will contribute meaningfully to the understanding of the issues in and state of SSC and would provide different perspectives on development cooperation. I would like to thank all the participants at the course for their hard work and to RIS faculty for their engagement in the preparation and production of this report. Chairman RIS Dr Mohan Kumar guided the programme. I am extremely thankful to him for the same. I am particularly thankful to Ambassador Amar Sinha, Professor Milindo Chakrabarti and Ms Amika Bawa for leading and coordinating the programme and for their inputs in bringing out the report. The intellectual process also got benefitted by inputs from Professor S K Mohanty, Dr Priyadarshi Dash, Dr Sabyasachi Saha, Mr Arun S. Nair, Dr Milan Sharma, Dr Nimita Pandey, Ms Prativa Shaw, Ms Chandani
