D+C Development and Cooperation D+C Development and Cooperation is a website and
digital magazine on global development. D+C. Our journalism is fact-based and solutions-oriented.

The global magazine on international cooperation

D+C is for everyone who wants to go beyond the news cycle. We tell the stories others overlook and amplify the voices that are too often missing: authors from the Global South, including experts from civil society, academia and politics. Because we believe that only by listening to the world’s full diversity can we shape its future. We don’t just a

nalyse what has gone wrong – we explore how things can be made better. We show that sustainability and global development are about real change and aren’t just empty words. D+C has a worldwide reach, yet we connect directly with our audience on the ground. With daily updates, newsletters, an e-paper, an app and a strong social media presence, we ensure our stories reach the people and places where they matter most. Voices from around the world

From youth movements in East Africa to research institutes in Central America, from village communities in South Asia to the boardrooms of the World Bank: with contributions from more than 400 authors spanning all continents, D+C brings together voices from every corner of the globe. Our editorial team works closely with these contributors, ensuring that their voices are presented authentically and with the necessary cultural sensitivity and nuance. The result is journalism that does not gloss over differences, but instead makes diversity visible while connecting local realities with global debates. News for a better tomorrow

The future isn’t a distant concept; it’s something people work towards every day. From climate-resilient farming to anti-disinformation apps, local innovations fill the gaps when policy lags behind. These solutions may not make headlines, but they matter. They prove that change is possible – and that solutions know no borders. What works in Morocco may also inspire progress in Myanmar or Mexico. D+C brings these examples to light. Journalism that goes deeper than your feed

In an era of misinformation and polarised debate, D+C provides reliable, fact-checked journalism. We see it as our responsibility to foster a well-informed public and create space for dialogue based on evidence, empathy and mutual respect. A fairer, more sustainable future depends on journalism that is diverse, accurate and based on thorough research. That’s why we look beyond the headlines. We provide context, make connections and give space to different perspectives so that our readers can better understand the world and help shape its future. THE EDITORIAL TEAM

Autocrats around the world are joining forces to stay in power. These are the dirty tricks straight from their playbook. 👇

Autocracies work together worldwide to stay in power. They flood the public sphere with targeted disinformation in order to destroy democratic discourse and impose their own narrative on the world, as Anne Applebaum argues in her book “Autocracy, Inc.”.

You can tell from his words how much Mohamad Melli loves the Damascus he grew up in.

Now, he has a new home in Germany, burdensome memories from the horrors he's experienced in Syria under Assad's regime and on his way out, but many ideas for a brighter future.

This is his story in his own words. 👇

Following the outbreak of civil war in Syria, hundreds of thousands of refugees began pouring into Europe in 2015. This was also when Mohamad Melli arrived in Germany. As journalist, he had taken part in the 2010 protests against the Assad regime and been imprisoned several times. He now lives and w...

🌍 African leaders are fed up with one thing. And they made that pretty clear at . 👇

At a deeply divided UN General Assembly, African leaders stood out with assertive demands for a greater voice in global decision-making. But behind the bold rhetoric lie old dilemmas: Can Africa unite around reform, and will it risk friction with traditional partners to secure its place in a changin...

Young Africans are tackling the climate crisis with creativity and determination. Across the continent, they are developing practical solutions that respond directly to local needs while demanding a stronger role in shaping policy.

🏠 Some refugees find a new home, despite the pain of what they've been through. But not all end up feeling at home in their new places. 👇

When the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh escalated between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2023, a large number of the region’s inhabitants fled to Armenia. Despite the support they have received from civil society there, not all of them have managed to gain a foothold in society.

🤝 "Saving the planet" is ultimately also about securing safe and stable conditions for humanity. One does not have to be altruist to care about the environment. It's everyone's basis of existence, after all.

🔎 Even when the focus is mostly on other things in the media world right now, we keep a close eye on the state of things regarding nature and environment. You can find all that here. 👉 http://spkl.io/6185AniHb

The resilience of young Africans is somewhat legendary. What is there to it? We asked Kenyan clinical psychologist Gladys K. Mwiti. 👇

When people return from a visit to Africa, you often hear them comment that young people, in particular, seem remarkably happy despite the hardships and poverty they face. Is this really the case? Kenyan clinical psychologist Gladys K. Mwiti examines the factors that contribute to the resilience of ...
