Today there are still many parts of the world facing famine due to extreme poverty. Meanwhile this issue also found in the big cities in the world, there are still many peoples in the city homeless and living in poverty. Many social and economists say that this is still happening due to the unfair spreading of development opportunities and gap of income and other artificial malfunction in controlling social life. 

When natural disasters started happening more frequently as a result of climate change, these issues become more complex. In the meantime, unfriendly development activities that are harmful to humanity and the social and economic aspects of the peoples are encroaching on the logistic and infrastructure. 

The leaders of the world need to handle the 21st century effectively and wisely in order to free their citizens—both in their own nations and across the rest of the world—from poverty and hardship. All elements are finding it difficult to notice their fundamental capabilities without first discussing the opportunities and problems that need to be addressed. 

The best way to manage challenges and overcome threats to human lives is to manage the respected capacities of the countries by exchanging a good model of development between them. This is the most effective way to minimize the gap between using opportunities that already exist and overcoming challenges.

Evaluating the international fora commitment and resolution that may always be a guidance or direction for human lives in next centuries such as the Climate Change and Sustainable Development Goals, the stakeholders in the respective nationals of the world must have an active role in managing global issues to get core problem comprehensively and inclusively. One of the most challenging issues related to international commitment is how to make International Cooperation resolution and commitment be implemented inclusively not exclusively and good for one-sided. 

Knowing that Indonesians have positive experience with foreign development collaboration is quite encouraging. One of those things is to aid in the national development of other nations through SouthSouth Technical Cooperation (SSTC). This SSTC’s main goal is to exchange best practices for SouthSouth international development cooperation programs. This approach is an offshoot of the Bandung Declaration, which came out of the Asian African Conference in Bandung in 1955. The STC provides space for other technical institutions from the public and business sectors to work together to support other nations’ efforts at their national development.
