In many projects, competence development is a specific goal. It is the key to effective and long-lasting changes. To this end, we also use digital learning formats.
Strategic competence development is one of our core tasks. Competencies are the key to effective and long-lasting changes. Strategic competence development refers to the learning processes of individuals while also reflecting the interaction between individual, organisational, and societal levels.
Through close dialogue with partners, this approach helps build sustainable structures that enable effective, results-oriented learning at both organisational and societal levels.
We support professional learning as part of broader capacity development processes. Strategic competence development is especially effective when combined with other GIZ services:
We bring together technical expertise, management skills and methodological know-how. In this way, we shape demand-driven learning processes that are strategic, results-oriented and practice-oriented. Depending on the specific framework conditions, we make use of digital learning formats that enable quality-assured, standardised and inclusive learning. The digital learning platform atingi helps us make digital learning scalable and accessible worldwide.
We view learning as a continuous process and primarily rely on a combination of different learning formats (the blended learning approach). To this end, consider all levels at which competence development can have an impact and analyse:g:
Then we decide in dialogue with the partner to what extent it makes sense to use digital tools and methods, and which are most suitable. Based on this analysis, we design learning spaces that are integrated into partner structures and mainstreamed there on a long-term basis.
atingi is GIZ’s standard solution for digital learning. What began in 2019 as an initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has since evolved into a firmly established and globally renowned platform. It provides people in our partner countries with free access to high-quality education – anytime, fully compliant with data protection regulations, and in more than 30 languages.
The diverse course offering covers topics such as digital skills, health, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and tourism. Through atingi, GIZ projects can make their own learning content available quickly and cost-effectively, without the need to build separate technical learning solutions.
atingi stands for equitable digital education – scalable, sustainable, and impact-oriented. In this way, we promote access to knowledge worldwide, support individual competence development, and contribute to sustainable development at both organisational and societal levels.
