Konferenzen und Workshops

GIGA, RWI, DEval, and the evaluation department of KfW invite to a one-day Learning Forum on the use of evidence in German development cooperation. The forum aims to firmly establish evidence-based approaches on the agenda of political decision-makers and to strengthen the dialogue between research and practice. Using concrete examples and current development policy challenges, the event will demonstrate how evidence can be systematically applied to inform and improve decision-making processes.

This event series delves into the evolving field of Global International Relations, highlighting research and practices at GIGA and beyond. It examines how IR can move beyond Western-centric frameworks by incorporating diverse perspectives, histories, and experiences from around the world. Each session features expert insights, discussions on knowledge co-production and partnerships with the Global South, and interactive Q&A segments.

We cordially invite you to a keynote speech and Q&A session with His Excellency Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, OON, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Given more fragmented and contested global cooperation, the question looms: Can the G20 effectively navigate a fractured international landscape? What does it take to tackle global challenges within weakened multilateral institutions? Can South Africa’s presidency offer a new path forward? How can Germany contribute to make South Africa’s G20 presidency a success? These and other questions will be addressed during our workshop.
