International development: Global South Panel
Overview
The Global South Panel was established in 2022, with its first meeting taking place on 22 October 2022.
The Panel will enable the Scottish Government to access a wider and more diverse range of voices and experience, and lend expertise to our 2016 Global Citizenship: Scotland's International Development Strategy (‘the Strategy’).
Constituted of a group that includes:
- global south academics
- thematic experts from our partner countries
- representatives of our partner country diaspora in Scotland
Our aim is to ensure global south voices continue to be heard at Ministerial level, to ensure ongoing dialogue and to drive and support further positive change.
The Panel will play a critical role in helping deliver the objectives set by Scottish Ministers and in ensuring we commit funds in pursuit of these goals both effectively and efficiently.
