Working in development policy and cooperation

The profile of development policy and cooperation has changed in recent years: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set ambitious targets for a comprehensive development agenda, not only in the Global South but also in the North. In order to achieve the SDGs, a development-compliant design of international framework conditions is also necessary. The climate change targets agreed in 2015 also feed into the practice of development cooperation.

Against this backdrop, the information event will provide an overview of the professional field of development cooperation and policy, as well as various opportunities for students and university graduates to enter it. Information will also be provided on job opportunities in the field of applied development research and policy consulting.

Speaker: Dr. Andreas Stamm is a research fellow in the program "Transformation of Economic and Social Systems" at the German Development Institute (DIE)." From 2013 to 2015, he was on leave from DIE and worked as a program manager for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Ethiopia. Therefore, he also knows the inside view of development cooperation.
