The Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership is an example of the south-south co-operation and one of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Following the United Nations designation of September 12 of each year as the ‘United Nations Day for South-South Co-operation’, the 2nd Nasser Fellowship adopted the theme of ‘South-South co-operation’ to increase and improve communication between developing countries, thus raising more awareness of common problems and increasing opportunities for exchanging knowledge and available experiences.
