SSI V: Kampala, 2022
The first in-person meeting after the pandemic, held in Kampala on the theme Building Common Ground.
After two years without in-person meetings because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fifth South-South Institute was held in Kampala, Uganda. The old site’s records do not give its exact dates [to confirm with RLP]. A move to Europe had been planned but was not possible, so a smaller, more local meeting took place where SSI began.
The theme was Building Common Ground. Sessions were planned around four areas: research; learning and training; practice; and policy and legal issues. Parts of the event were planned to be streamed online for members who could not attend.
Earlier in 2022, SSI ran an online webinar series. The recordings are not yet on this site; the sessions are listed in the library.
After SSI V
In April 2023, following SSI V, SSI representatives worked with the Cambodian organisation M’Lop Tapang, ECPAT International’s Global Boys Initiative and the Korean organisation Tacteen Naeil to hold a two-day workshop in Seoul for South Korean service providers. It followed up the Global Boys Initiative’s South Korea report.
