6th International Meeting on Triangular Co-operation - Lisbon |
|
The OECD and the Government of Portugal gathered on 6-7 October 2022 around 100 participants in Lisbon for the 6th International Meeting on TrC. This year, representatives from all continents discussed the value-added of this modality and the opportunities for establishing more and better triangular partnerships to achieve sustainable development goals. There was a call for more consistent data and for enlarging the number of actors and sectors embracing the modality. The OECD will soon share a summary of the discussions.
The GPI core group also met in the margins of the Meeting, to discuss the GPI’s strategic vision and reflect on our future work. |
