π The latest issue of our CDG Global Development Brief is out!
This week’s focus: a German debate with a global punchline. CDU politician Nathanael Liminski warns in a Reuters interview that retreating from development cooperation would be a strategic mistake β backed by a KfW/GΓΆttingen study claiming every euro of German aid lifts exports by β¬2.50 (we also give the methodology a critical look). Germany’s 2027 budget draft shows a real shift underway: -9.8% for technical cooperation, -39% for crisis response, but +20% for the World Bank Group.
And while Berlin debates cuts, others are moving forward: pan-African AFC launches a climate fund for Nigeria, China plans $300m in digital infrastructure for Kenya, South Korea funds an AI institute in Tanzania β all in the very same week.
Also in this issue: a billion-dollar Canadian project in Niger with open questions about the investor, plus funding calls with realistic lead time.
