Top Devex Impact stories of 2016
It has been a year marked by the
formal launch of the Sustainable
Development Goals, humanitarian
crises, and political change.
But, in all of that, the role of business
in addressing development
challenges, from agriculture to
humanitarian aid, and from health to
climate, has continued to grow and
gain recognition.
Here’s a look at some of the top Devex Impact
articles from the past year.
Devex Impact took a look at bitcoin and blockchain
technology — explaining what it is, it’s role in global
development and looking at how it is being used in
Venezuela and how it could be harnessed for
financial transparency.
An emerging trend this year was the increased
interest and experimentation by NGOs in the impact
investing space. Devex Impact explored where they
fit in, how those interested can get involved and how
the Catholic Church is considering investing.
As the world’s humanitarian crises and flows of
refugees have dominated headlines, Devex Impact
explored the role of the private sector in
humanitarian response, and how new methods of
delivering aid to refugees or migrants — for example
in the form of cash payments — are changing the
landscape.
Earlier this year the Clinton Global Initiative made all
of their commitments public and a Devex exclusive
looked at the failed commitments and what lessons
can be learned about those partnerships.
Devex Impact looked at the growing role that Silicon
Valley is playing in development — including
coverage of Uber’s global impact, World Bank
investments in the area and Airbnb’s work in
disaster response.
On the one year anniversary of the formal launch of
one of the first development impact bonds, which
supports education, particularly for girls, in India,
Devex Impact did a deep dive into the process behind
its creation and implementation, and further
explored where things stand with the burgeoning
development finance tool.
This year Devex Impact looked into the coffee
industry — how it’s a tool for development, the
challenges climate presents coffee farmers and a
look at how coffee industries are growing in post-
conflict or conflict countries including Myanmar and
South Sudan.
Entrepreneurship and innovation continued to gain
attention as tools for furthering global development.
Devex Impact wrote about what makes accelerators
work, how entrepreneurs can pitch investors, the
Global Innovation Fund’s first round of investments
and how innovation is changing credit scoring.
With Habitat III, the conference on the future of cities
and urbanization, taking place this year, Devex
Impact covered the event, the role of urban planners,
what new cities are and why they matter, and the
view of the business community in the smart city
sector.
Devex Impact continued its coverage of trade —
looking at the debate and discord at the U.N.
Conference on Trade and Development, what Donald
Trump’s election as U.S. president means for trade in
developing countries and the future of aid for trade.
Stay tuned for more coverage in 2017 and follow

Top Devex Impact stories of 2016

  • 2. It has been a year marked by the formal launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, humanitarian crises, and political change. But, in all of that, the role of business in addressing development challenges, from agriculture to humanitarian aid, and from health to climate, has continued to grow and gain recognition.
  • 3. Here’s a look at some of the top Devex Impact articles from the past year.
  • 4. Devex Impact took a look at bitcoin and blockchain technology — explaining what it is, it’s role in global development and looking at how it is being used in Venezuela and how it could be harnessed for financial transparency.
  • 5. An emerging trend this year was the increased interest and experimentation by NGOs in the impact investing space. Devex Impact explored where they fit in, how those interested can get involved and how the Catholic Church is considering investing.
  • 6. As the world’s humanitarian crises and flows of refugees have dominated headlines, Devex Impact explored the role of the private sector in humanitarian response, and how new methods of delivering aid to refugees or migrants — for example in the form of cash payments — are changing the landscape.
  • 7. Earlier this year the Clinton Global Initiative made all of their commitments public and a Devex exclusive looked at the failed commitments and what lessons can be learned about those partnerships.
  • 8. Devex Impact looked at the growing role that Silicon Valley is playing in development — including coverage of Uber’s global impact, World Bank investments in the area and Airbnb’s work in disaster response.
  • 9. On the one year anniversary of the formal launch of one of the first development impact bonds, which supports education, particularly for girls, in India, Devex Impact did a deep dive into the process behind its creation and implementation, and further explored where things stand with the burgeoning development finance tool.
  • 10. This year Devex Impact looked into the coffee industry — how it’s a tool for development, the challenges climate presents coffee farmers and a look at how coffee industries are growing in post- conflict or conflict countries including Myanmar and South Sudan.
  • 11. Entrepreneurship and innovation continued to gain attention as tools for furthering global development. Devex Impact wrote about what makes accelerators work, how entrepreneurs can pitch investors, the Global Innovation Fund’s first round of investments and how innovation is changing credit scoring.
  • 12. With Habitat III, the conference on the future of cities and urbanization, taking place this year, Devex Impact covered the event, the role of urban planners, what new cities are and why they matter, and the view of the business community in the smart city sector.
  • 13. Devex Impact continued its coverage of trade — looking at the debate and discord at the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development, what Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president means for trade in developing countries and the future of aid for trade.
