Lake Poyang and Lake Victoria are the largest freshwater lakes in China and Africa, respectively. Lake Victoria is one of the sources of the Nile, and Lake Poyang is an important lake connected to the Yangtze River by a channel. These two lakes not only support tens of millions of people but also serve as habitats for numerous species of wildlife.
In recent years, with the support of the Global South-South Development Centre and the UN Office for South-South Cooperation's Perez-Guerrero Trust Fund, these two lakes, members of the International Network of Living Lakes, have initiated a collaboration that has been recognized by the UN as a model example of South-South cooperation. Jiangxi Province, home to Lake Poyang, collaborates with regions in countries surrounding Lake Victoria, such as Kenya and Tanzania. This collaboration includes training courses for specialists from these countries, promoting the construction of biogas plants that convert waste into clean energy, and disseminating Lake Poyang management practices. This provides new impetus for the joint promotion of environmentally friendly modernization in China and Africa.
