The objective of the ExperTS programme is to further develop the structure and services offered by the German Chambers of Commerce, delegations of the German economy and bilateral economic associations. This aims at providing targeted support to activities, investments and cooperation between international and local enterprises that contribute to development.
Through the Centre for International Migration and Development (CIM), integrated experts are sent to German Chambers of Commerce, delegations of the German economy and bilateral economic associations in 30 developing countries worldwide. They develop structures and services in four areas of relevance to development policy: vocational education, renewable energy and energy efficiency, sustainable economic development, and building new structures for chambers and economic associations. As local contacts, they support companies in their efforts to achieve sustainable and profitable business operations for all parties. In addition, they link the German economy with the organisations of development cooperation and give impetus for joint projects.
