Access to the labour market plays an essential role in allowing displaced populations to sustain their livelihoods and integrate into their host communities. Long-term displacement situations and a decline in resettlement have spurred the quest for local integration (UNHCR, 2019). The majority of displaced populations are hosted by neighbouring low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the Covid-19 pandemic places additional strain on scarce resources.

Covid-19 has affected economies, firms and workers all over the world. What started out as a health crisis soon developed into a pandemic with severe economic and labour market impacts worldwide. Economic impacts are particularly severe in low- and middle-income countries for vulnerable groups like informal workers, women and youth, and also for small and medium-sized enterprises.

From Our Projects

The aim of the project Focelac+ is for evaluations in selected countries to make a greater contribution to accountability, transparency and learning. The project partner is the Costa Rican Ministry of Planning, Mideplan.

This website is a central hub for everything RIE-related in German Development Cooperation. You will find an interactive online version of the research report on RIE and a rigorous evidence database. The website also includes information on a pilot funding programme for RIE.

In Focus

Sustainability

With the 2030 Agenda, sustainability became the guiding principle for human development. The Agenda also provides the central framework for German development cooperation. All interventions and activities should be designed to promote sustainable development in partner countries in keeping with the 2030 Agenda. DEval has thus made sustainability one of its priority working areas.

Further focus topics

The private sector is becoming increasingly involved in official development cooperation. However, this trend is somewhat controversial. Critics fear that it primarily benefits corporate interests and pushes development policy goals into the background.

German development cooperation is increasingly taking place in fragile contexts, as more than half of its partner countries are now affected by violence, conflicts and a lack of state authority/legitimacy. As a result of these particular challenges, specific strategies are needed in order to implement development policy measures effectively and sustainably.

German development cooperation has many tools at its disposal, including development loans, promotional loans, subsidies, training seminars and the deployment of experts. Tailored diversity or wasteful fragmentation?
