Reminder: Call for Pitches Closes Tomorrow

In Development’s call for pitches will close on July 1, 2026 Anywhere on Earth. We’re commissioning 2,000–4,000-word longreads that:

• Tell a compelling story about how something works - or fails to work - in the developing world

• Combine deep subject knowledge with accessible storytelling.

• Surface important but underreported trends, people, or institutions.¹

We’re especially interested in:

• Unexpected success stories: projects, entrepreneurs, or policies driving real change.

• Comparative or historical insights: what can we learn from how different countries tackled similar challenges?

• Technological innovation: how will AI affect developing countries?

• Institutional and policy experiments: from land titling to regulatory reform.
