South Centre
The South Centre aims to promote common interests among the countries of the South while recognising and reflecting their diversity.
The South Centre encourages coordinated participation by developing countries in international fora dealing with South-South and North-South matters related to development. The project contributes to raising the awareness and developing the capacity of policymakers and civil society groups (CSOs) of low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) to take actions to tackle the growing crisis of AMR.
