New sources of funding, new actors and new technologies are quickly changing the way we do development. They’re also changing the kinds of development professionals that will be in demand to work in this complex ecosystem.
In a survey Devex conducted in partnership with the U.S. Global Development Lab at the United States Agency for International Development and Population Services International, 83 percent of respondents believe that in 10 years, the technology, skills and approaches used by development professionals will be significantly different than they are today.
Alexis Bonnell, division chief for applied innovation and acceleration at the U.S. Global Development Lab and Marshall Stowell, vice president for external relations and communications at PSI, helped us unpack the findings in a webinar to discuss what they mean for development professionals and the kinds of skills they will need to develop to be successful in the future.
