The learning across borders (LAB) initiative is a structured, participatory, demand-driven approach that enables countries in the Global South to share proven solutions, accelerate reforms, and cocreate innovations in areas, such as digital governance, social protection, agriculture, food systems, health, and inclusive growth. 

LAB empowers countries to learn from each other’s journeys, accelerate reforms, avoid common pitfalls, and foster sustainable, inclusive growth. Through LAB, MSC provides a trusted platform for South-South collaboration. This enables countries to cocreate solutions, build capacity, and drive transformative change. Further, India has experienced accelerated socioeconomic development, innovation, and commitment to inclusive, sustainable development across multiple sectors, which makes it a model for other countries to learn from.  

MSC uses its track record in 68+ countries, deep sector expertise, and extensive public–private networks to drive impactful cross-country collaboration. Through LAB, we offer multi-modal knowledge exchange, immersive exposure visits, tailored technical support to adapt solutions to local contexts, and an inclusive and sustainable development focus.  

Since we launched “India for the World,” MSC has hosted delegations from more than 20 countries. We have connected policymakers, regulators, and innovators and enabled them to adopt practical, scalable solutions. We have hosted collaborative delegations from countries, such as Tanzania, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Indonesia. The delegations included stakeholders from the public sectors, such as, regulators, government ministries, line departments, and financial institutions. It also included private stakeholders, such as financial institutes, multilateral organizations, and technology service providers.
