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

🇨🇳 If you wonder how China got to where it is, you're certainly not alone. How did China rise to a higher-middle income country which leads the world in terms of exports?

💰💰💰 Oligarchs not only influence our world already – if they continue to fuse wealth and power, they can run it. Containing them is the central challenge of our time, argue David Lingelbach and Valentina Rodríguez Guerra in D+C.

🔋 Critical minerals are needed for the transition to clean energy. But there's a catch: Mining is an environmentally disruptive industry. 👇

The transition to clean energy is necessary, but its environmental costs may be quite high. Mining for critical minerals is a crucial issue. Its ecological impacts must be minimised, as a WWF study published last year calls for.

“If you look at all the media investments China has made in Africa, the aim is to promote positive media coverage for China,” says Admire Mare from the University of Johannesburg.

Alphonce Shiundu on how China expands its media influence in Africa – from traditional media to “influencer diplomacy”. 👇

Chinese state-affiliated companies are increasingly investing in Africa’s media infrastructure. The country has widened its partnerships in the field of content production, for example, by sponsoring trips to major Chinese cities for African journalists and influencers. This carries the risk of ...

🇨🇳 Where does China show up in your life? It may be in the brands you wear, the technology or cars you buy, the social media platform you just can't get away from, or platform where you shop, to name only a few examples.

🌍 In the Global South, China is impossible to miss: It shapes the daily lives of many people in developing and emerging economies.

In our latest Monthly, we take a look at how China, as a major power, is expanding its influence.

We answer several questions about China's rise to and role on the global stage:
🔷 How has China become so successful?
🔷 Does its political system play a role?
🔷 What does China's role mean for African countries and their aspirations?
🔷 Do China's activities have an influence on whether people in Latin America support democracy or not? (The findings on the latter are quite surprising!)

Find the answers to these and many more questions in our Monthly:

What is Elon Musk's business model and political leaning all about? And what are the consequences for the rest of the world? 👇

Elon Musk briefly became the world’s first trillionaire in dollar terms thanks to the initial public offering (IPO) of his corporation SpaceX in June. The flotation ripped off small investors, however. Musk’s business model is to safeguard state sovereignty with private services, which gives him...
