Identities are complex. Nobody has just one #identity that always remains the same. They offer possibilities for both solidarity and separation, which right-wing populists exploit in order to pit different communities against each other. #Indigenous politics, tribalism, Hindu supremacism and #queer identities - these are just some of the very different matters we take a look at in our latest Digital Monthly.

Sustainable development requires global awareness and local action.
About us
Humankind's collective future depends on sustainable development. We must eliminate poverty, but at the same time protect the natural environment. D+C is a forum for discussing what needs to happen at local and national levels, and what international cooperation must contribute. What we publish always pertains to how the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved. Our website www.DandC.eu explores how sustainable development relates to other fields of policy-making, such as security, peace, trade, business, development cooperation or public health and education. D+C stands for Development and Cooperation. We publish in two languages. The German version is E+Z Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit. We invite people who work in different sectors and live all around the world to contribute to D+C/E+Z. We specialise in opinion journalism and analytical essays. If you wish to share your view on our platform, please send us a proposal. We are particularly interested in contributions from developing countries and emerging markets. Those who write for us are typically either scholars, civil-society activists or journalists, but others are welcome too. Obviously, the views expressed by our contributors are not necessarily those of the editorial team or its paymasters. The website shares the name D+C/E+Z with our print magazine, which is published every two months, and a monthly e-paper. All versions - website, print issue and our Digital Monthly PDF - are funded by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and published on behalf of ENGAGEMENT GLOBAL. Our mission is not to serve as a governmental mouthpiece, but to provide a credible forum for international debate. Hans Dembowski (DEM) is our editor in chief, and the other team members are Katharina Wilhelm Otieno (KO), Jörg Döbereiner (JD), Maren van Treel (MVT) and Dagmar Wolf (DW). Our publisher is Fazit Communication GmbH in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

How do you define yourself? Through your #job and #professional status, for example? Your nationality? How do others see you? #Identity can both unite and divide. Some politicians make use of that fact for their own gain. D+C's Dr. Katharina Wilhelm Otieno sheds light on the matter and points out where identity categories can be used to cause harm. 📸 The picture shows a march of the Hindu chauvinist cadre organisation RSS in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. https://lnkd.in/gGq8GSSy

⚡ Two parties at loggerheads with each other are unlikely to sit down together for the greater good and the interests they share. In a world that badly needs cooperation on vital issues, that is especially bad news. 🔎 Polarisation is one issue identified as a result of unequal development in the latest human #development report. For D+C, Anna Sophie Schmitz had a closer look at how countries around the world are developing 👇

Malawi faces ongoing devastation from cyclone Freddy even a year later. Women and girls suffer the most, facing heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and a lack of access to essential healthcare, including sexual and reproductive health services. In an op-ed written by Christina Chilimba, Founder and Executive Director of the GFF-supported CSO ALL for Youth, she addresses the harsh realities faced by communities, and highlights the disproportionate burden borne by women and girls. From increased risks of violence to disrupted access to essential healthcare, the repercussions are dire. Child marriages and exploitation are on the rise, while basic health services remain inaccessible for many. This crisis highlights the urgent need for coordinated action, resilience-building measures, and gender-inclusive policies in the face of climate change. Christina emphasizes the critical role of organizations like ALL for Youth, supported by the GFF, in bridging these gaps. Our ongoing replenishment campaign presents a crucial opportunity to mobilize resources and drive positive change. Click below to read Christina's op-ed on D+C Development and Cooperation to delve deeper into the realities faced by Malawi. 👇 #DeliverTheFuture #ClimateHealthEquity

💡 "If the international community splinters into multiple orders, we will lose the race against climate change, social polarisation and biodiversity loss. Today’s policymaking will decide whether constructive cooperation stays possible in a multipolar world." What institutional landscape does multipolar cooperation require? IDOS Director Anna-Katharina Hornidge reflects in D+C Development and Cooperation on: 1. The Meaning of ‘development’ 2. How to build Sustainable Futures 3. Global Governance and multilateralism https://lnkd.in/eGyEGwaQ | #MultipleOrders #MultipolarCooperation #SustainableFutures #GlobalGovernance #development

🤝 What does it really take to be accepted into the club? In some cases, that's easy to answer. In other cases, the answers are more subtle or hidden. That's the case with some international organisations. 🔎 Harvard professor Christina Davis' latest book takes a closer look at those subtle rules. D+C's Katharina Wilhelm Otieno explains 👇

💰 Governments’ spending on international #development normally does not have a good reputation - especially in donor countries. Public debate around it has flared up again recently. But... ✅ ...it is better than that reputation, says our editor-in-chief - and it has helped bring about some stunning progress. Learn more about its impact here 👉 http://spkl.io/60424Fdc8 🔎 Development assistance means different things to different governments. In each case it is of strategic relevance to both donors and recipients. We explain some of the motives, with 🇮🇳 #India being an interesting example 👉 http://spkl.io/60434FdcD 🇩🇪 🤝 #Germany's development policy serves all people, argues Germany's federal minister for economic cooperation and development, Svenja Schulze. Here's why it does not only serve recipients, but people in Germany as a donor country as well 👉 http://spkl.io/60444FdcE
