Want a bit of development-related festive cheer? Bookmark my new advent calendar

December 10, 2024

     By Shruti Patel     

Shruti Patel shares her new advent calendar of success stories.

I’ve curated a set of 12 success stories of progress in development into an advent calendar. Some are small, others monumental, but all highlight collaboration, persistence, and ongoing challenges. Each story also contains a link to at least one published report or academic publication. It’s also a bit of an experiment on my part around communicating research.

I hope these windows let in a bit of fresh air in the festive season, especially in these bleak times. So please feel free to bookmark and let me know what you think! 

Each day from now to December 22nd, a new door will unlock – note the numbers do not correspond to dates but simply follow a sequence from 1 to 12. Door 1 opens on 11th December.

Bookmark the calendar to return to it daily.

Shruti Patel is Senior Lecturer at ETH NADEL- Global Cooperation and Sustainable Development based in Zurich, Switzerland. She is exploring innovative ways to communicate research.

  1. Great to hear Pete and Jessie…we all know the things that go wrong. Less so what’s going in the right direction. Would love to know what I missed – anything else that should be there? I guess you’ll only be able to tell after the 22nd!
