This system aims to register cooperation initiatives within the framework of South-South Horizontal Cooperation and Triangular Cooperation. The system allows the registration of different types of cooperation, export of information, processing, and visualization through various graphical reports. It is projected that SIDICSS will help standardize criteria for case registration, become the reference system, and facilitate the import of data from national platforms into this regional platform. The tool replaces the questionnaire used for the past 7 years to gather input for the South-South Cooperation Report and represents a new platform that can be adopted by countries that do not yet have adequate registration systems or that will link to existing records in each country.
In August 2015, a workshop was held in Mexico City, attended by Ibero-American countries. This workshop aimed to train managers of Ibero-American cooperation in the use of the Integrated Data System in Ibero-America on South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SIDICSS).
"The Ibero-American Program for the Strengthening of South-South Cooperation originated from a mandate of the Action Program of the XVII Ibero-American Summit in Santiago, Chile, in 2007. Its approval took place during the XVIII Summit in San Salvador, in November 2008. It was launched in the first quarter of 2010. The Program includes 20 member countries, and its highest governance body is the Intergovernmental Technical Committee, composed of the Cooperation Officers of these 20 countries.
As a Summit Program, the Ibero-American General Secretariat ensures its proper development and supports its implementation."
