What does 2026 hold for global development?
In the first episode of the year, we look ahead to what we expect to happen in 2026 in global development. From more foreign aid cuts by traditional Western donors to a more transactional approach to development, we discuss what trends are set to shape the future of the sector.
We identify the key players driving this transition from aid to investment, as well as contemplate the conditions necessary for the private sector to step up and fill the gap left by shrinking official development assistance.
Will the world’s billionaires increase their giving? Will development finally be locally led?
To look ahead to what 2026 holds for global development, Devex Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar and Managing Editor Anna Gawel for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
During the sponsored segment of This Week in Global Development, brought to you by Pivotal, Kate Warren sits down with Action for Women’s Health grantee Sophie Jenkins, International Programs Director at ChildFund Australia, whose leadership brings tailored health approaches throughout individuals’ life stages.
