The present SIDS-SIDS Success Stories aims to highlight significant achievements that have been made in advancing sustainable development in small island developing States (SIDS) through collaboration among SIDS in the broader context of South-South cooperation. This publication is made available to the high-level meeting of the five-year review of the Mauritius Strategy of Implementation (MSI), during the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2010.

Notwithstanding the unique and particular vulnerabilities of SIDS and their special case for sustainable development, these illustrative success stories underline the importance of SIDS-SIDS cooperation for the effective implementation of the MSI.
