Dear colleagues, after 20 years, and more than 500 issues, the Health and Social Protection News Briefing (formerly HESP News & Notes) is drawing to a close. The digital communication pioneer Dieter Neuvians started it to facilitate exchange between GIZ (then GTZ) head office and staff in health projects worldwide. A few years later circulation of the HESP News & Notes was opened for interested subscribers beyond GIZ and their number quickly rose to almost 900, including staff of acclaimed universities, WHO and other UN organisations, the big foundations, consulting firms worldwide and many more. During its first ten years, the newsletter’s popularity was due to the fact that it provided access to information which its readers would otherwise not have had. Over the past ten years this changed: Now people subscribed to it because it saved them from drowning in an ever-increasing amount of online publications, by selecting the best and grouping them according to particular topics of interest. In 2017, the situation is changing again: There are now many digital platforms and various curated newsletters which link professionals interested in health, social protection and development to the information they need - in the formats they prefer - and reading habits have changed accordingly. Over the coming months, Healthy DEvelopments and its stakeholders will jointly explore how to best serve its broader audiences’ information and learning needs. As collaborative learning platform, we value and depend on your inputs and feedback, please write to: hesp-news...@healthy-developments.deToday we say thank you to Dieter whose newsletters have accompanied our professional lives and kept us up to date for all these years - comprehensively, reliably and fake news-free. Enjoy the last issue of the News Briefing! (PDF, 32 pp. 1.3 MB) Karolina Luczak Santana & Anna von Roenne
