=== Trilateral ===
Trilateral development cooperation (also called triangular development cooperation) is a type of development cooperation, wherein [[Development Assistance Committee|OECD DAC]] member states or multilateral institutions provide development assistance to emergent development actors, with the aim of assisting them in carrying out development projects in other developing countries.<ref>United Nations Economic and Social Council (2008), page 8.

The purpose of trilateral development cooperation is to combine the strengths of both OECD DAC member states and the new development actors in delivering more effective aid to recipient countries.<ref>OECD (2016), page 9.
