3. 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.

4. 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).

5. Social cohesion after armed conflict: a literature review

   

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

   This paper brings together 39 academic studies on how armed conflict affects social cohesion. Reviewing the literature shows that conflict mostly harms social cohesion. However, this review also points toward several important caveats as well as blind-spots of the current literature.

   Sommer, Christoph (2021)
   Discussion Paper, 6/2021

   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.

7. Puzzles of political change in the Middle East: political liberalisation, authoritarian resilience and the question of systemic change

   

   Schlumberger, Oliver (2021)

8. A behavioural perspective on the drivers of migration: studying economic and social preferences using the Gallup World Poll

   

   Klöble, Katrin (2021)

   Risk-taking, patience and trust. Do such personality traits influence peoples' decision to emigrate? A study on worldwide migration intentions based on the Gallup World Poll.

9. 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.
