What uncertainties or disruptions do you see on the horizon that are currently “under the radar” and could have an impact on the international development sector?

• Tip: phrase your contribution as a “what if” question
• Example: What if developing countries come out of the COVID-19 crisis with lower levels of trust, leading to long-term shifts away from development co-operation with the Global North?
