Peace and security

Millions of people face the threat of war, conflict and disaster. GIZ promotes peace, strengthens security and supports partners in laying the foundation for stability – in the interests of people locally and in Germany.

Our skills and expertise

  • Supporting peace processes

    We promote dialogue, mediation and reconciliation. We assist our partners with violence prevention and conflict management work and support them in strengthening social cohesion.

  • Rethinking security

    GIZ strengthens state security structures, focuses on human security, and provides support to prevent violence and organised crime.

  • Reconstruction and crisis resilience

    Following crises and disasters, we work with partners to rebuild infrastructure and livelihoods together on a sustainable basis – with a focus on security, social participation and prevention.

  • Displacement and migration

    We create fair migration pathways, promote safe return and encourage resource-rich countries to use their resources fairly and peacefully.

Displacement and migration

Displacement and migration are challenges for policy-makers and wider society: We support displaced people and host regions so that everyone benefits.
