The Knowledge from the South Fair seeks to highlight SSC experiences in issues of social and sustainable development that have proved effective in the region, and the mechanisms used for the exchange, adaptation in other countries, and consolidation of cooperation between countries of the region. There was a call for experiences that have generated solutions in four thematic areas:

• Social programs and social protection systems.

• Fiscal policies to promote equity and social investment

• Participation, inclusion and public policies

• Environment and disaster risk reduction.
