Home / Analysis


Effective development cooperation is based on the profound knowledge of the local society and its problems as well as an understanding of the complex - often international - political and economic correlations. Therefore, the actual work must be accompanied by detailed analysis of the situation on the ground. The WADI staff regularly summarize the results of this work and provide them as background information to the public or use them to lobby for political and social strategies. Here you will find these texts in form of articles and contributions.
