DCED Global Seminar

PSD at a crossroads:  navigating a shared way forward 

Applications are now open for the DCED’s 2026 Annual Meeting and Global Seminar that will bring together DCED Members with the wider community of private sector development practitioners. 

We will examine the implications of the evolving global aid landscape for PSD for different types of participants:  

• Bilateral donors: to hold frank discussions on managing political pressure while maintaining development integrity 
• Foundations: to connect with peers navigating similar challenges around scale and transformation
• Implementers: to learn practical strategies for thriving in the new funding landscape
• All participants: to engage in a unique exchange of the latest experiences, lessons and debates on how to promote systemic PSD under changing parameters effectively. 

Note that the Global Seminar will be 3 days from 16-18 June and the DCED Annual Meeting for members takes place on 15 and 19 June.
