About GSI
Who We Are & Why We Exist
Global South International (GSI) exists because the world's majority deserves a seat at every table that shapes its future.
Founded in response to growing inequities in international governance, trade, and climate negotiations, GSI is an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to amplifying the collective voice of nations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific.
We operate at the intersection of research, advocacy, and diplomacy — producing evidence-based analysis, convening leaders and communities, and building the coalitions necessary to translate aspiration into policy.
Our work is guided by a firm belief: that solutions to the world's most pressing challenges will only succeed when they are designed with and by the people who face them most acutely. The Global South is not a monolith — it is a constellation of remarkable diversity, resilience, and innovation. GSI exists to honour that complexity while channelling it toward common purpose.
Where We Work
How We Work
Research, Advocacy & Diplomacy
01
Research
Evidence-based analysis on trade, climate, health, and development — built with, not just about, the communities it serves.
02
Advocacy
Carrying Global South priorities into international negotiations, from climate summits to trade forums, so they set the agenda rather than react to it.
03
Diplomacy
Convening governments, civil society, and diaspora communities to build the coalitions that turn shared aspiration into lasting policy.
Independent. Non-partisan. Driven by the Global South.
GSI is funded by partners who share our belief that the nations of the Global South must shape the decisions that shape them.
