development policy
The totality of political measures and strategies of a state or international organization to promote economic and social development in poorer countries.
Ein zentrales Ziel der deutschen Entwicklungspolitik ist die Bekämpfung von Armut und Hunger.
A central goal of German development policy is the fight against poverty and hunger.
This noun is composed of 'Entwicklung' (development) and 'Politik' (policy/politics), connected by an '-s-'. So it literally refers to policy that deals with development.
Sie studiert internationale Beziehungen mit Schwerpunkt auf Entwicklungspolitik.
She studies international relations with a focus on development policy.
'Entwicklungspolitik' (development policy) is often combined with actors such as countries or organizations, e.g. 'deutsche Entwicklungspolitik' (German development policy) or 'die Entwicklungspolitik der EU' (the EU's development policy). A typical verb is 'Entwicklungspolitik betreiben' (to pursue/carry out development policy).
Die deutsche Entwicklungspolitik konzentriert sich auf bestimmte Partnerländer.
German development policy focuses on certain partner countries.
In the context of development policy, specific goals are often named. These typically include 'Armutsbekämpfung' (poverty reduction), 'Bildungsförderung' (educational support), 'Gesundheitsversorgung' (healthcare), and 'Klimaschutz' (climate protection).
Die Entwicklungspolitik des Landes zielt auf eine bessere Bildungsförderung ab.
The country's development policy aims to improve educational support.
development aid
'Entwicklungshilfe' (development aid) and 'Entwicklungspolitik' (development policy) both have to do with support for poorer countries. 'Entwicklungshilfe' means concrete help, for example money, materials, experts, or projects. 'Entwicklungspolitik' is broader: it means the plans, goals, and decisions of a state or organization in this area. The words can be confused because development aid is often part of development policy. When you mean concrete support, 'Entwicklungshilfe' fits. When you mean political strategies and measures, 'Entwicklungspolitik' is more precise.
Die Regierung ändert ihre Entwicklungspolitik, weil sie mehr in Bildung investieren will.
The government is changing its development policy because it wants to invest more in education.
