D+C Development and Cooperation

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

🌍 Multilateralism and international cooperation are facing tough times these days. D+C's editor-in-chief Eva-Maria Verfürth argues that now more than ever, we must stick to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 🔽

For a long time, we discussed the UN Sustainable Development Goals primarily in terms of figures: Where is progress being made? Where are we falling behind? Since last year at the latest, the goals themselves have become the target of criticism. That’s one more reason to hold on to the idea.

In an article for D+C, Bahja Ahmed describes how young people in Somalia use cafés as informal “offices” to study, network and build small start-ups. 🔽

In the country’s capital Mogadishu, young people gather in cafés to study, network and build small start-ups. Since formal job opportunities are scarce, these informal “offices” have become spaces of resilience, skill-building and shared ambitions.

"Some men see the challenge to traditional roles as a loss of power and status, which leads to resistance and backlash against women’s progress in Kenya," writes Stephen Mutie in his article for D+C.

The modern man is in crisis. In Kenya, as elsewhere in Africa, he clings to distorted versions of masculinity that tragically lead him into emotional incarceration. Indeed, though patriarchy promises freedom to men, it actually alienates them, pitting them against each other. Yet freedom is the ulti...
