What is TCDC?
Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries – known as TCDC – is essentially a process whereby two or more developing countries pursue their individual or collective development through cooperative exchanges of knowledge, skills, resources and technical know-how. Ideally, TCDC activities should be initiated, organized and managed by developing countries themselves with their governments playing a lead role while involving public and private institutions, non-governmental organizations and individuals. TCDC can include all sectors and all kinds of technical cooperation activities of developing countries, whether bilateral, multilateral, sub regional, regional or interregional in character. The challenge is to marshal innovative approaches, methods and techniques that are particularly adapted to local needs without supplanting existing modalities of technical cooperation which have proven useful. The ultimate goal of TCDC is the promotion of national and collective self-reliance amo
