MADM students as authors and editors at D+C/E+Z

DC EZ min

We would like to raise attention to the new articles of our MADM students and alumni in the magazine Development + Cooperation / Entwicklung + Zusammenarbeit.

D+C/E+Z magazine is a forum for international debate and is keen on contributions from around the world. In particular, authors from developing countries and emerging markets share  their views in a monthly digital and print edition. D+C/E+Z is furthermore one of IEE's internship partners for MADM students and has hosted several interns during the last years with many remaining true to D+C/E+Z.

So please have a look at MADM student Prince Thompson’s from Ghana first article “Through Nigeria’s presidential election was a mess, the news for ECOWAS was rather good” and MADM alumnus Ronald Ssegujja Ssekandi’s from Uganda article “Girls with tools: innovative approaches to vocational training in Uganda” in the digital edition as well as Ronald Ssegujja Ssekandi’s article “The new Africa strategy of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development” and MADM alumna Pamela Cruz’s from Mexico article “Mexico wants to prevent teenage pregnancies – and sex education helps to make it happen” in April’s print edition.

Keep up the good work of contributing to the global debate of development and cooperation.
