| Reference: North-South Divide Reference information: Yes, you can say countries of the South and countries of the North. From a Wiki for the North-South Divide: The north–south divide is a socio-economic and political division that exists between the wealthy developed countries, known collectively as "the north", and the poorer developing countries (least developed countries), or "the south." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North–South_divide And an excerpt from a New York Times article: North-South Divide Is Marring Environment Talks As the nations of the world map a plan of action to preserve Earth's environment, their meetings have been bogged down by the old battles between the wealthy, industrial countries of the north and the poor, underdeveloped countries of the south. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/17/world/north-south-divide-i... You can find more references by googling "north south countries" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2012-01-27 21:57:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @ Roberta: 1) I would probably translate the text as is, although for the first occurrence I might say "the underdeveloped countries of the South." 2) Even if the terms "North" and "South" are dated, they are in your source text. And, although the NY Times article I gave as a reference dates from 1992, here are some more recent ones: "The story here is that it shows what the countries of the south can do to help each other." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/13/world/asia/13iht-baht.html Today, we can correct this and, at the same time, contribute to the generation of employment and wealth in the countries of the South - much to the benefit of the global community. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/06/opinion/06iht-edsimoes.1.7... If tropical countries were allowed to export their crops from the South to the North, in return for guarantees that the fuels were produced responsibly, then the countries of the South would be given a chance at economic development, and consumers in the North could fill up on biofuels with full confidence that their potential was being realized. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/opinion/14iht-edlet.1.1196... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2012-01-28 03:25:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops! I take back #1 in my last Note on this reference. :o If I were to add a glossing adjective, I would say "the developing countries of the South," not "the underdeveloped countries..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2012-01-28 03:27:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tip: Try googling "developing countries of the south" [in quotes]. |

| Reference: Background context Reference information: ACCORD SUR LA RÉFORME DE LA COOPÉRATION UNIVERSITAIRE It's a long doc, but by skimming through it, one can get a very clear idea of what they mean by programme sud, which is originally a EU concept. Après deux années d’intenses négociations, le Ministre de la Coopération au Développement, Charles Michel, et les Présidents du VLIR et du CIUF signaient, le 22 avril 2010, un accord relatif aux principes directeurs de la coopération universitaire et aux modalités stratégiques de sa mise en oeuvre dans le cadre de ses actions sud. Les principales innovations contenues dans le protocole d’accord concernent la reconnaissance des spécificités de la coopération universitaire, l’importance des principes des appels à propositions – qui garantissent une démarche participative et la qualité scientifique des interventions –, la concentration géographique et la mise en place de programmes de travail étalés sur six ans. http://diplomatie.belgium.be/fr/binaries/CUD_rapport_annuel_... |
