CHA Director Ralf Südhoff strongly criticises the new reform plan presented by Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan in a CHA statement issued on 12 January: ‘If it were that simple, previous federal governments would have thought of it.’
In discussions with several media outlets, Ralf Südhoff and CHA Research Lead Sonja Hövelmann also explained the weaknesses and ambiguities of the reform plan and why the shift from value-driven to interest-driven development cooperation is also reflected in the BMZ’s plans.
