UN endorses Azerbaijan-led initiative linking NGOs across Global South PHOTO

The United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) has published detailed information on its official website regarding the Global South NGO Platform (GSNP), an initiative launched by Azerbaijan.

UNOSSC hailed the GSNP as one of the most inclusive civil society mobilizations in recent years, reflecting a significant step in fostering collaborative engagement across the Global South, Caliber.Az reports per local media.

Founded in Baku in April 2025, the platform now brings together organizations from 116 countries and is showcased as an example of an innovative model of international cooperation. The initiative aims to strengthen networks, share expertise, and promote joint action among civil society actors in developing regions.

Significantly, this marks the first occasion that UNOSSC has formally evaluated a global initiative led by Azerbaijani NGOs and disseminated information about it on its official channels, underlining the platform’s growing international recognition.
