Survey results

In our online survey in summer 2024, we asked our readers a long list of questions, including: What do you value most about D+C, and what can we improve? What digital tools would you appreciate once the print edition is phased out? Over 1,000 respondents gave us feedback and shared their ideas. These are the key findings:

• Global network and professional value: D+C content reaches a global audience. Our readers want to stay informed on international development affairs, gain a broader perspective on global issues and find inspiration for their professional work. Some use it for research on topics related to development cooperation. 
• High quality, relevant content: Survey participants rated D+C’s overall performance and content as “good” or “very good”. They particularly appreciate D+C’s in-depth analyses.
• Digital formats and improved design: Once the print edition is phased out, many respondents would like to receive more frequent updates via email or access our content through an app. Other suggestions included improvements in layout and design.

Your wishes matter. We have created a new design for D+C that will be gradually implemented on all digital platforms. Moreover, we will send out a newsletter via email every two weeks from 2025 on. A new D+C app is available in the app stores – if you like, check out our most recent monthly issue using it.
