Dr Devereux is a development economist working predominantly on food security, famine, rural livelihoods, social protection and poverty reduction issues. In a video-interview to the WFP Centre of Excellence against Hunger, he highlights the importance of the cooperation among Southern nations to attain the necessary political will to promote social protection and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 2, Zero hunger.<\/p>\n

South-South cooperation helps create evidences that social protection initiatives work and are beneficial to countries. \u201cIn the past, a lot of donor countries from Europe would try to persuade countries in Africa, Asia, or Latin America that they should follow what was happening in Europe, but it was not relevant, it was not appropriate to them, so South-South learning is much more appropriate\u201d.<\/p>\n
