Policy Brief: Relevance and Efficiency of the Emergency COVID-19 Support Programme: BMZ prioritised rapid disbursement to partner countries

  • Dr Wiebke Stein
  • Sabrina Disse
  • Magdalena Orth-Rempel
  • Dr Cornelia Römling

Developing and emerging countries faced difculties to curb the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic through their social protection and health systems. The German Government, therefore, provided support to such countries, notably via the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Since the end of 2021, DEval has been evaluating the Emergency COVID-19 Support Programme (CSP), the largest of these Government support packages financed by the BMZ. The evaluation aims to identify the programme’s strengths and weaknesses of the CSP so that lessons can be drawn for the management of future global crises.

Opinion Monitor for Development Policy 2022. Development Engagement in Times of Global Crises and Challenges

  • Dr Sebastian H. Schneider
  • Nora Sassenhagen
  • Jens Eger
  • Dr Martin Bruder

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.

  • Dr Jan Tobias Polak
  • Dr Angela Heucher
  • Lea Smidt
  • Lena Taube

In order to strengthen human rights in development cooperation (DC) partner countries, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has adopted a human rights-based approach that requires all bilateral DC projects to mainstream human rights standards and principles. DEval analysed how successfully do DC Projects implement these requirements in practice in the second part of the evaluation “Human Rights in German Development Policy”. The analysis focussed on projects from the intervention area “Private sector and financial system development”. This policy brief summarises the key findings of this evaluation.

Policy Brief: Feminist Development Policy: Advice on Implementing Human Rights-Based and Gender-Transformative Development Cooperation

  • Dr Angela Heucher
  • Lea Smidt
  • Lena Taube

Following Germany’s change of government in 2021, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) published its first feminist development-policy goals: to eliminate structural inequalities and discrimination against women, girls and other marginalised groups in the long term. The BMZ's feminist development policy builds on existing strategies, including those for gender equality, human rights and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Based on DEval evaluations on these topics, this policy brief examines the extent to which German development cooperation already includes key features of feminist development policy. It also provides specific advice on how these can be better incorporated into development cooperation practice.

Policy Brief: Relevanz und Effizienz des Coronasofortprogramms: BMZ setzte auf schnelle Auszahlung an Partnerländer

  • Dr Wiebke Stein
  • Sabrina Disse
  • Magdalena Orth-Rempel
  • Dr Cornelia Römling

Insbesondere Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer können die Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie durch ihre sozialen Sicherungssysteme und Gesundheitssysteme nicht ausreichend abfedern. Daher unterstützte die deutsche Bundesregierung solche Länder, unter anderem über das Auswärtige Amt, das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ). Das DEval evaluiert seit Ende 2021 die Stärken und Schwächen des vom BMZ fnanzierte Corona-Sofortprogramms, um hieraus für die Bewältigung zukünftiger Krisen zu lernen.

Das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) hat sich mit seinem Kooperationsmodell der Reformpartnerschaften (RP) seit 2017 zu einer vertieften Kooperation mit afrikanischen Staaten verpflichtet.
