#developmentcooperation — Public Fediverse posts

A Year of Reckoning for #DevelopmentCooperation #InternationalCooperation:
This year has shaken the development sector to its core. For decades, the industry operated in a self-satisfied bubble, largely disconnected from both the people it aimed to serve and the taxpayers funding it. Now, under immense pressure—shrinking public budgets, the dissolution of major agencies like USAID, and rising populist scrutiny—the ... https://blog.locational.network/2026/01/06/a-year-of-reckoning-for.html

tl;dr: In #DevelopmentCooperation, most structural challenges are #complex. Unfortunately, the sector is not well prepared to understand and work in the complex domain.

🌍 In development cooperation, especially when it comes to tackling underlying structural challenges, initiatives operate in the realm of complexity. Understanding this is crucial for effective decision-making.

🌍 Before we look at the #FutureOfCooperation, let’s clarify what we talk about.

#DevelopmentCooperation is about supporting the economic, social, environmental and political development of countries, especially those classified as developing nations.

Technology without Borders

Technik ohne Grenzen e.V. (Technology without Borders, Germany) has one goal: improving living conditions in developing countries. This goal is pursued principally through the following three areas of activity:

Coordinating on-site, tailored cooperative development work that makes the most effective use of the available resources.
Delivering education and training that empower local people effect change themselves.
Stimulating sustainable development, for example through microbusiness initiatives.
Through these activities, we aim to put our technical expertise to meaningful use in the service of others. This is the guiding principle behind the foundation of our organisation, our motto being “as sophisticated as necessary, as simple as possible“. In the organisation’s name, the term “technology“ represents an invitation for all technical enthusiasts, as well as tradespeople, technicians, artisans and engineers, to participate in our work. Our organisation also places great importance on offering students the opportunity to make a difference through the application of technical and engineering skills to a variety of challenges in different locations and cultures. If these ideas inspire you, we would love to have you work with us!

I have known @ProvenPudding for many years and his commitment to the #TYPO3 project is truly enormous. All these years, he has put his heart and soul into the project and has been instrumental in advancing the public communications of the TYPO3 Association.
To continue his work, he is now looking for support in the form of work as a copywriter and TYPO3 developer or through donations.
Please support his work!

Increasing the Relevance and Effectiveness of Residual Climate #RiskManagement in #German #DevelopmentCooperation
#DEval Policy Brief by Leppert et al. (2022)

To increase #relevance, #effectiveness and #RiskCoverage requires:
• Strategic development of the #residual #climate #risk portfolio
• Openness in choice & combination of instruments
• Considering target groups' needs, i.e. when designing #ClimateRiskInsurance

Strengthening residual #climate risk management in #German #DevelopmentCooperation
#DEval Policy Brief by Leppert et al. (2022)

• #Residual #ClimateRisks pose an increasing challenge and should be considered more systematically in #ClimateFinance.
• Increased use of #RiskPreparedness needed to maximise #ClimateChangeAdaptation and reduce #losses #damages.
• #Transformative #RiskManagement needs integrated approaches.

Status and potential of rigorous #ImpactEvaluation in #German #DevelopmentCooperation

The #DEval research project examined the status quo of #RigorousImpactEvaluation in #Germany's #GlobalDevelopment projects and programmes, relevant barriers and potential measures to increase both the initiation of #rigorous #impact #evaluation‎s and the take-up of (rigorous) #evidence.

Evaluation of Climate Change Adaptation Measures. Portfolio and Allocation Analysis

New #DEval #evaluation report

#DevelopingCountries are particularly affected by #ClimateChange #impacts. #German #DevelopmentCooperation supports #ClimateChangeAdaptation. However, particularly vulnerable countries such as small island developing states receive considerably less German funding than would be expected
