How does international development cooperation work? Why do many programs fail in the long run – and how can this be changed? What are the consequences of current budget cuts for global development cooperation?
Mona Mensmann, Professor of Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship at ECONtribute at the University of Cologne, conducts research on the psychology of entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurial thinking can be fostered, particularly in lower-income countries. In Togo, she investigated the impact of a training program for small business owners in a long-term study. We discuss why many programs tend to be too short-term, whether women and men benefit equally, and how development cooperation can be truly lasting.
