IsDB and OECD Launch the Second Edition of the Global Perspectives on Triangular Co operation Report
Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 29th October 2025 – The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) today published the Second Edition of the Global Perspectives on Triangular Co‑operation Report.
Development co-operation is at a crossroads. Multiple crises, geopolitical shifts, shrinking budgets and growing needs demand new ways of working—partnerships that are inclusive, resilient and fit for today’s realities. Triangular co-operation offers such a model. It breaks with traditional donor-recipient and aid dynamics, builds trust across divides, and mobilizes finance, knowledge and innovation from diverse partners. By doing so, it creates platforms to co-design development solutions to global challenges.
