💡Have you heard about results-based financing? It is a powerful approach to increase effectiveness and maximize impact in development cooperation. ➡It is a shift in how donors have traditionally approached aid. Instead of funding inputs and activities upfront, payments are made only after specific, agreed-upon results are achieved and verified. 👩🏽🎓For example, in vocational education, a training provider might receive 25% of their payment at the start to cover initial costs, with additional payments tied to milestones like course completion, skills tests, and graduates securing jobs. ❗However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and comes with challenges. Sabrina Würmli and Bettina Jenny are sharing their 9 learnings about this approach, inspired by a new report commissioned by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and SECO Economic Cooperation and Development (the report is linked in the article).

Jahrzehntelang zeigte die Kurve der Zahl der Menschen, die unter Hunger leiden und in Armut leben, steil nach unten. 2020 kam die positive Entwicklung ins Stocken. Um diesen Trend wieder umzukehren, hat kürzlich in New York der #Zukunftsgipfel stattgefunden. Das von den Ländern verabschiedete Schlussdokument muss für die Regierungen dieser Welt handlungsleitend sein. Mit der Zustimmung zum Zukunftspakt bestätigt (auch) die Schweiz, dass eine militärische Aufrüstung nicht auf Kosten von langfristigen Investitionen in #InternationaleZusammenarbeit und #NachhaltigeEntwicklung gehen darf. Dieses Bekenntnis sollte sich das Schweizer #Parlament zu Herzen nehmen, wenn es im Winter über die Finanzierung von Armee, Klimaschutz und Internationaler Zusammenarbeit berät und entscheidet.

On the brink of escalation: The situation in Cox's Bazar, the biggest refugee camp in the world, located in #Bangladesch is deteriorating. For 7 years now, more than one million #Rohingya have been crammed into the 33 camp of Cox's Bazar as a result of escaping violence in Myanmar. In recent months, a new swell of refugees has arrived, with nowhere to go. The camps are overloaded and gang criminality is making life very dangerous. Helvetas has been supporting the children and adults in Cox's Bazar with humanitarian aid and training programmes. In an interview with SRF - Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen Echo der Zeit, Helvetas employee, Ashikur Rahman, talks about the sad reality on the ground. You can listen to the radio broadcast in German: 👇 Bangladesch: Gewalt und Verzweiflung im grössten Flüchtlingslager - Echo der Zeit - SRF #Rohingya #Bangladesch #Myanmar #SRF Franca Roiatti Jürg Merz Benjamin Blumenthal Maren Peters Kamlesh V

From 2025 onwards, only deforestation-free products may be exported to the EU. It is a challenge for many farmers in countries of the Global South who produce agricultural commodities for export. For example, cocoa farmers 🍫🧑🏽🌾🍫. How can they adapt? By embracing digital solutions like the Open Cocoa Chain, a blockchain-based tool, farmers can trace their cocoa as deforestation-free and remain connected to the EU market. This innovation is helping them adapt to new regulations and secure their livelihoods. 👉 Check out the full article by Jerome Scheuren: https://lnkd.in/dvpB8cDc The Open Cocoa Chain was developed by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH’s global Fund for the Promotion of Innovation in Agriculture (i4Ag) together with the National Federation of Cocoa Farmers of Colombia (FEDECACAO) and Helvetas.
