With Star Trek: Picard Season 3 getting positive reviews, we thought it would be a good time to check in on space programs and their ties to development — from preventing devastating impacts of massive climate events to helping farmers get better yields.
Also in today’s edition: Speaking of climate, we have some news on Europe’s new carbon plan and why it’s likely to be bad news for African countries. Also, branding can be critical to fight stigma — so a new generation in southern Africa wants to remake the image around HIV.
Upcoming event: Join us on May 16 for a Devex Pro Live webinar to discuss how far USAID has gotten toward its localization targets. If you haven’t already, start your 15-day free trial of Pro today to be able to register for the event.
