Global South World, globalsouthworld.com.[1] is a news media focusing on the Global South. It was founded in October 2023 and covers politics, general news and business, among other areas. Its founding editor was Ismail Akwei.

The media organisation works with journalists based in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America with a production hub in Accra, Ghana.[2]

It is known for reporting issues relating to democracy and human rights and has been cited by international NGOs [3]. It describes its mission as providing information in multimedia formats to help citizens make decisions about their lives. [4]

The website has interviewed leading figures in politics and business, including Ghana's president John Mahama[5], Philippines businessman Sabin Aboitiz [6], the Deputy Prime Minister of Congo Daniel Mukoko Samba [7] and former Bolivian president Carlos Mesa.[8]

It is also known for its powerlists recognising journalists who are breaking out of traditional media formats to reach younger audiences on social platforms. [9][10][11]

In 2025 Global South World partnered with Kondiment to boost its audiences across social media and through search. [12]

The website describes itself as editorially independent but receives funding from the Impactum Group.[13]
