INSouth embodies an understanding, from a South perspective, of the new and emerging issues in the international arena, and the challenges and opportunities they pose for the South. The key objective is to draw attention to institutions and individuals in developing countries who are working on issues currently under debate and negotiations in the international policy arena.

The network focuses on intergovernmental organizations and think tanks, south-south cooperation agreements, and eminent intellectuals and negotiators from the global South to provide a platform where research and analysis, and commentaries coming out from these sources gets highlighted to build bridges between the Northern and the Southern perspectives on wide ranging issues.

INSouth.org welcomes intellectuals amongst developing and developed countries be it from academic, research, media, NGOs or international development or diplomatic commmunity to register with it, so that joint projects, partnerships and dialogues can be initiated through this platform.
