Context Matters – Country-Specific Politico-Economic Analyses, Conflict and Crisis Potentials, as well as Global and Regional Trends / Phase I

The project is focussed on the key question of what opportunities and risks arise for the planning and implementation of German development cooperation from current country-specific, regional and global developments.

During the project cycle the project analyses historical, socio-economic, ecological, cultural developments in up to 95 partner countries of German development cooperation using a comparative frame. It also evaluates the potential for conflict escalation in up to 95 countries. With its work, the GIGA contributes to broadening the knowledge on countries of the Global South and supports the German development cooperation in achieving its goals and those of the sustainable development agenda (Agenda 2030, SDGs).
