DESCRIPTION:Mathematics is a major economic driving force\, for better or 
 for worse. However\, mathematical research and teaching and hence societal
  and economic impact are not distributed evenly across the globe. Many cou
 ntries are effectively cut off from the global mathematical community. The
 re are a number of initiatives aimed at helping mathematical communities i
 n the Global South connect with the mathematical community in the Global N
 orth. All these initiatives face challenges\, from lack of funding to lack
  of personnel to politics to the more inherent issue of how to promote mat
 hematics in another country without being colonialist. In this talk\, we w
 ill discuss some of these initiatives\, their approaches and successes\, t
 heir challenges and solutions.
