Every month we keep track of and share the latest knowledge released in the global development sector. Looking back at the year 2023, we invited members of the DevDispatch community to weigh in on their top publications across 10 thematic areas on the grounds of relevance, ease (relating to readability and conciseness) and design.
November has been filled with noteworthy events including the Intra-African Trade Fair, COP28, and the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence campaign. We are grateful to have brought you all the new and exciting global development publications released this year and we hope we have in some way contributed to your reading goals for 2023.
We are exactly a month away from COP28 running from the 30th of November to the 12th of December and naturally, our radar is set on all things climate action. This month we recommend two publications on climate change, delve into Africa's economic trajectory and explore non-state armed groups in this month's releases.
Rounding up Global Goals Week last week is our September recommendations focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We hope you find our selection insightful!
Our August recommendations will get you up to speed on waste water, the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the world of work, supply chains in Africa, trade in services and the state of sovereign debt on the continent.
If you are looking to add to your knowledge base but have no clue where to begin, you are in for a treat! In this edition of DevDispatch recommends, we point you in the direction of the latest publications released in July.
June is typically a time for reflection, rightfully so, given that it marks the halfway checkpoint to the end of the year. We get the feeling some of the publications released this month were intentionally designed to take stock of some of the key development agendas
We close off Africa month with this special edition of DevDispatch Recommends featuring publications released in the global development sector this month.
It's always interesting to track which themes take centre stage in the global development space each month, and for the month of April, the conversation on Artificial Intelligence (AI) caught our attention. Our April DevDispatch Recommends draws attention to some of the world's most pressing matters including climate change, digital transformation, debt financing and migration.
Our March recommendations interestingly mirror- in some ways- this month's most topical global conversations. We hope you find each of these insightful.
