63. What have we learned about learning? Unpacking the relationship between knowledge and organisational change in development agencies

    

    Yanguas, Pablo (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 9/2021

    Development practitioners learn, their organisations not so much. In this paper, Pablo Yanguas finds little evidence for the “learning hypothesis” that knowledge makes development agencies more effective. As we near 2030, the role of M&E, research, and adaptive approaches may need to be reassessed.

64. Navigating through an external agenda and internal preferences: Ghana’s national migration policy

    

    Segadlo, Nadine (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 8/2021

    This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of Ghana’s National Migration Policy (NMP). A major finding is that the NMP does not primarily respond to a perceived problem related to migration in Ghana but it rather pursues the migration related interests of the European Union (EU).

    Fiedler Charlotte / Christopher Rohles (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 7/2021

66. The impact of patient capital on job quality, investments and firm performance: cross-country evidence on long-term finance

    

    Sommer, Christoph (2021)

    Long-term finance is not only important for development and growth, but also has the potential to contribute to better jobs. This paper provides empirical evidence to what extent long-term loans affect job quality, firms’ investments in fixed assets and innovation, as well as firm performance.

69. Can integrated social protection programmes affect social cohesion? Mixed-methods evidence from Malawi

    

    Burchi, Francesco / Federico Roscioli (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 3/2021

    Using a mixed-method approach we show the impacts of an integrated social protection programme on social cohesion in Malawi. We find no concrete effect of the lump-sum transfer; in contrast, the business training enhances social cohesion especially when accompanied by participation in saving groups.

    Srigiri, Srinivasa Reddy / Ines Dombrowsky (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 2/2021

    Understanding the conditions for coordination in the WEFNexus is key to achieving the 2030Agenda. We provide a framework for analysing nexus governance from a polycentricity perspective, which can be useful in formulating coherent strategies for the integrated implementation of the SDGs.
