PREFACE
South-South cooperation is an important complement for the
development of international cooperation. The two resolutions on international
support for the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) adopted by the
United Nations General Assembly at its fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth sessions
(Assembly resolutions 57/7 and 58/233) recognized the important contribution
that South-South cooperation could make to the implementation of NEPAD and
encouraged Africa's development partners to support it.
South-South cooperation is traditionally viewed as
encompassing technical cooperation among developing countries, with a focus on
sharing of experiences or exchanges in capacity building, technical assistance,
and economic cooperation among developing countries. Hence,
«South-South» is often used as a synonym for economic and technical
cooperation among the developing countries. Over time, the nature and scope of
South-South cooperation has evolved, extending to non-traditional areas such as
peace and security, including human rights and electoral assistance.
It is in line with these facts that I have written on the
topic south-south cooperation, with a case study of cooperation agreements
between the Republic of Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco.
Through this essay, I have been able to take a look at the
economic and bilateral relations between the Republic of Ghana and the Kingdom
of Morocco while making a critical analysis of the agreements and memoranda of
understandings signed by the two countries.
Based on these analysis and observations, I assessed the
agreements that have already been signed, taking into consideration the
achievements made and the challenges that the two countries have to overcome in
order to draw the full benefits of their cooperation.
Finally, and based upon the Analysis, observations and
assessment of the agreements on cooperation signed by the two countries, and
also based on practical observations and comparisons, I made some
Recommendations and proposals and explained why these proposals were necessary
towards the reinforcement and the development of bilateral and economic
cooperation between the Republic of Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco.
