Ukraine war makes international development cooperation all the more urgent

The war in Ukraine is causing massive suffering. First and foremost, the people who are suffering directly from Russia's attacks are affected. But the effects are also being felt more and more drastically on a global scale. Rising prices for food and raw materials are hitting those people hardest who are already disadvantaged. Over 300 million Africans are at risk of hunger.

At the same time, however, it is currently difficult to collect donations for Africa. This reports the newspaper "reformed." in its new issue. At Mission 21, donations from private individuals fell by a third in March compared with the same period last year. Spokesman Christoph Rácz is quoted as saying, "We are stepping up efforts to ensure that the need in Africa in particular is not forgotten."

In view of crises and wars in some of our partner countries such as Cameroon, Nigeria or South Sudan, support for the people is urgent, especially since the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Read â–ºhere more about our projects in the respective countries.
