description:

Finally a lesson can also be derived from the BASIC Project on approaches to South-South collaboration. The networking and cooperation activities which were initiated between Brazil and Angola through BASIC, and which it is planned will be further developed through Phase 2 of BASIC, and through new projects developed on the basis of the BASIC experience, show that South-South collaboration can be fruitful even between countries with very different contexts and levels of experience in working on gender and decent work. The outcomes of the collaboration between Angola and Brazil were very positively evaluated by those involved from both countries, and the fact that this is a partnership between a country which did not yet have a DWCP, and another with a long established DWCP and a strong institutional base on equal opportunities, does not appear to have been an impediment to mutual learning and solidarity between gender and decent work advocates in the two countries. This sheds light on the value of this kind of collaborative approach even where specific activities and structures might not be transferable due to contextual differences.
