I don't believe "politisch" requires any added emphasis in my solution but that may vary in each solution.

: There's nothing indicating it's about "economic" development.

True, the German doesn’t make that explicit. But I think it’s possible to make that assumption if Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung is making the rules

: That sounds as though the policy itself is voluntary. I'd say the text is about volunteer/voluntary service in the field of development policy.

ok, we could add "service in the field of" between "voluntary" and development", it would make it long but avoid any ambiguity

Literal translation
This is very close to the German original and not what is needed for a natural English translation.

I would have to spend a lot of time researching native parallel texts, searching under "international development" "international volunteering"

Note from asker:
| Yes, your answer is the correct solution Kim! Also the text under Orla's link to weltwaerts uses the term "development volunteer service". I'd like to grade your answer but it isn't possible to grade reference comments. I'll wait another day before gading. Thank you! Holger |

writeaway
: such translations require an inborn feel for the target language, not one acquired through later-life language learning. It's what keeps me from translating into my source languages. I have no native/gut instincts about what does or doesn't sound right.
