Studies

Unité, our member organisations and the international network of volunteer organisations regularly examine the relevance and impact of personnel development cooperation. Based on studies, evaluations and exchanges of experience, we are constantly working to improve our engagement and make it even more effective.

On this page you find all the latest studies from Unité and from our network, which are available in English. However, most of our studies are only available in German and/or French. To access them, please refer to the respective pages.
