The Opinion Monitor for Development Policy 2022 covers two main topic areas. The first part investigates central public attitudes towards development policy. For example, it looks into general support for official development cooperation (DC), attitudes towards various motives for DC and how people assess its effectiveness. It pays particular attention to attitudes regarding democracy and promotion of democracy. The second part focuses on development engagement. This includes non-monetary engagement such as activities related to information and communication, organisation-based engagement and political participation, as well as monetary engagement such as donations to development policy organisations and sustainable consumption.

Sustainable consumption contributes to sustainable global development. Due to the interdependencies between consumption behaviour in industrialised countries and people’s living conditions in countries of the Global South, the issue is also highly relevant to development policy. Up to now, however, there is hardly any evidence with regard to the extent that citizens perceive their own consumption as having a global impact. The DEval Opinion Monitor for Development Policy 2022 looked into this question. This Policy Brief summarises the findings of the study.

Nachhaltiger Konsum leistet einen Beitrag zu einer nachhaltigen globalen Entwicklung. Aufgrund der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Konsumverhalten in Industriestaaten und menschlichen Lebensbedingungen in Ländern des globalen Südens hat das Thema auch eine hohe entwicklungspolitische Relevanz. Bisher liegen jedoch kaum Erkenntnisse darüber vor, inwieweit die Bürger*innen wahrnehmen, dass ihr eigener Konsum globale Auswirkungen hat. Der DEval-Meinungsmonitor Entwicklungspolitik 2022 ist dieser Frage nachgegangen. Dieser Policy Brief fasst die Ergebnisse der Studie zusammen.

Der Meinungsmonitor Entwicklungspolitik 2022 umfasst zwei Themenblöcke: Im ersten Teil werden zentrale Einstellungen der Bevölkerung zu Entwicklungspolitik untersucht. Behandelt werden unter anderem die generelle Unterstützung für staatliche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZ), die Einstellung zu verschiedenen Motiven für EZ sowie die Einschätzung ihrer Wirksamkeit. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt Einstellungen zu Demokratie und Demokratieförderung. Im zweiten Teil steht das entwicklungspolitische Engagement im Fokus: einerseits nicht-monetäres Engagement wie informations- und kommunikationsbezogene Aktivitäten, organisationsbezogenes Engagement und politische Partizipation, andererseits monetäres Engagement wie Spenden an entwicklungspolitische Organisationen und nachhaltiger Konsum.

'Residual climate risks' are those climate risks that remain after risks have been reduced through mitigation and adaptation. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, residual climate risks need to be managed effectively. So far, only sporadic evidence is available on the effectiveness of instruments for managing these risks. Against this background, the present evaluation module report fills the knowledge and evaluation gap on the relevance and effectiveness of the instruments applied so far to manage residual climate risks.

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.
