The diverse expertise of our federal enterprise is in demand around the globe – from the German Government, European Union institutions, the United Nations, the private sector and governments of other countries. We work with businesses, civil society actors and research institutions, fostering successful interaction between development policy and other policy fields and areas of activity.

The commissioning parties and cooperation partners all place their trust in GIZ to work with them to generate ideas for political, social and economic change, to develop these into concrete plans and to implement them. Since GIZ is a public-benefit federal enterprise, German and European values are central to GIZ’s work.
