At this meetup, we'll have Gabriel Hanrieder working for Pour Demain and Kooperation Global . He'll share his Insights from Advocacy for Effective Programs in Global Development:
Since decades, governments from high-income countries have been running programs to eliminate poverty, hunger, and preventable diseases. In order for those public institutions to become more effective and have the best impact with their work, it is essential that they make use of the best available evidence on the most impactful programs. But amidst vastly differing political interests, how do we make sure this is the case?
At Kooperation Global, we are trying to answer this question by advocating for evidence-based and impact-oriented development policy in Germany and the European Union.Some of the questions I will touch upon in the talk include:
- Is it still highly impactful to work in the field of Global Health & Wellbeing?
- Why and how does policy advocacy pose an impactful way in trying to do good?
- How evidence-based is (German) development policy and how do we strive to improve it?
