We know little about the general geographic allocation of development projects in postconflict regions, and specifically of gender-focused projects. Using Colombia as a case study, this publication explores whether donor agencies prefer to work in “safe” places or dare to operate in conflict-affected zones.

In the strategy paper ‘Human Rights in German Development Policy’, published in 2011, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) defined human rights as a guiding principle of its work. The strategy paper formulates a human rights-based approach (HRBA) for the realisation of this guiding principle. The current DEval evaluation comprehensively assesses the HRBA for the first time since it was adopted.
