ABSTRACT
South-South Cooperation (SSC) focused on knowledge sharing for tracking SDGs implementation, can help improve SDG spending. This chapter will be the first to document how the Global South can share knowledge on SDG through development cooperation. The policy transfer framework will anchor the discussion on the SSC which has not yet been done to date at the academic level. Bangladesh has an SDG tracker, much like the UN’s global SDG tracker, which is used by the Finance Division and Planning Commission for budgetary decisions. A discussion on how the SDG tracker is being used by the government of Bangladesh will set the scope for analyzing policy transfer between a least developed country (LDC, i.e., Bangladesh) and a middle-income country (Peru). Bangladesh’s design and use of the SDG tracker and the policy transfer with Peru can illuminate new ways for improving SDG spending through existing administrative arrangements.
