💡Have you heard about results-based financing? It is a powerful approach to increase effectiveness and maximize impact in development cooperation. ➡It is a shift in how donors have traditionally approached aid. Instead of funding inputs and activities upfront, payments are made only after specific, agreed-upon results are achieved and verified. 👩🏽🎓For example, in vocational education, a training provider might receive 25% of their payment at the start to cover initial costs, with additional payments tied to milestones like course completion, skills tests, and graduates securing jobs. ❗However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and comes with challenges. Sabrina Würmli and Bettina Jenny are sharing their 9 learnings about this approach, inspired by a new report commissioned by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and SECO Economic Cooperation and Development (the report is linked in the article).

Die Armee soll mehr Geld bekommen – auf Kosten der Ärmsten. Der Ständerat will 2 Milliarden Franken aus dem Entwicklungshilfe-Budget nehmen und nennt dafür abenteuerliche Begründungen. Die Beratungen im Parlament sind noch nicht abgeschlossen. Es bleibt Zeit, mit falschen Vorstellungen über die Internationale Zusammenarbeit (#IZA) aufzuräumen. Wir haben 11 Behauptungen und unsere Richtigstellungen für Sie zusammengetragen. 🗨 BEHAUPTUNG #8: Das Klimaproblem wird masslos überschätzt. ✅ FAKT: Die Welt ist leider nicht auf Kurs, das 1,5 Grad-Klimaziel zu erreichen. Vielerorts nehmen die Schäden immer mehr zu. Umso wichtiger wird Klimaschutz und Anpassung - hierzulande und, mit Unterstützung reicher Länder, auch im Süden.

Trotz weltweiter Bemühungen im Kampf gegen die #Erderwärmung werden die #PariserKlimaziele verfehlt. Was hindert uns am nachhaltigen und sozial gerechten Fortschritt? ✖ gigantische Subventionen für fossile Energie ✖ private und klimaschädliche Investitionen ✖ der (Irr-)Glaube an Kompensation von Klimaschutz in armen Ländern ✖ die lähmend hohe Verschuldung im Globalen Süden 👉 Die Politik muss sich schleunigst mit diesen vier Hindernissen bzw. "Hebeln" für eine nachhaltige Transformation befassen – bevor es zu spät ist.

💧Did World Water Week address the most pressing water and climate challenges? Christina Barstow, PhD, shares her reflections on the event, the conversations that sparked new ideas and the critical dialogues that were missing. Here are some insights: ✂️ The anticipated downsizing at the host institution, Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), due to cuts in Sweden’s aid budget was a major point of discussion. 🚨 A recent paper in Science revealed that 4.4 billion people lack access to safe drinking water — double the previous estimate. 🌡️ The water-climate connection was a major focus, but there’s still a gap in dialogue between the water and carbon sectors. 💬 What’s your take? Share your thoughts in the comments, and check out Christina's full insights here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gHkfFgZ4

► The international development community is closely watching the ongoing discussions around shifts and reductions in official development assistance (ODA) and the growing $3 trillion annual funding gap to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. ► How can we close this gap? Government, NGO, and development actor support isn’t enough. We must leverage resources from the private sector. This means collaborating with large multinational companies, asset managers, and impact investors. ► Find out more in this new blog post by Andreas Müller, Siham Boukhali, MBA, and Paula Carrión 👉 https://lnkd.in/evKqHZSM

The Swiss media site SWI swissinfo.ch reports on our success story in #Bhutan: After more than 50 years of supporting the country in sectors like education, governance, and forestry, Helvetas will leave Bhutan at the end of 2025. The Himalayan country has made enormous progress in recent years and no longer requires Helvetas support, Lionel Giron, Regional Coordinator for #Nepal, Bhutan and #Vietnam at Helvetas. Alongside many projects, Helvetas has also played an important role in Bhutan’s process towards becoming a democracy, with the first election held in 2008. Helvetas started its support in Bhutan in 1975, being the first international development organization in the Himalayan country.

The Swiss online magazine watson News reports extensively on a forgotten crisis in #Bangladesh: For seven years now, over a million #Rohingya have been living in the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. Displaced by the violence in #Myanmar, the Muslim minority found refuge in the neighbouring country. Since their arrival in Bangladesh, Helvetas has been supporting the children and adults in the 33 camps in Cox's Bazar with humanitarian aid and training programmes. Kamlesh V, Helvetas Regional Humanitarian Aid Coordinator, spoke to Salome Woerlen from Watson about the daily lives and challenges of the Rohingya living in precarious conditions and how they can be supported on the ground.
