Culture as a Dimension of Interweaving Reinvented South-South Partnership in Africa.

Culture serves as a complex needlepoint for societal customs and actions, reflecting aspirations across political, economic, and social domains. This article examines the crucial function of culture in reinvigorating south-south cooperation in Africa. Qualitative research methodologies were employed to analyze scholarly literature, policy documents, and reports. Theoretically, it adopts an inclusive framework that combines constructivist and liberal perspectives. This framework aims to expose the fundamental principles, values, and ideologies that underpin the South--South collaboration in Africa. Moreover, it highlights the profound influence of Africa's historical narrative, which spans the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial eras, in fostering a collective sense of responsibility and stewardship towards the continent's development trajectory. Additionally, this article emphasizes the transformative role of religion and spirituality in shaping a new African identity conducive to progress and unity. Finally, it underscores the essential role of Africa's creative sector in cultivating the African Renaissance through collaborative South- South initiatives extending across the continent.
