Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMI)

The Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) and its 20 downstream agencies have been working with GIZ for many years.

With GIZ’s support, the Ministry secured joint financing for projects from the European Union and bilateral partners such as Lebanon, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

GIZ implements projects on behalf of BMI in the area of sustainable urban development. More specifically, this involves bringing together German and international partners at municipal and national level to develop joint, innovative solutions.

Since 2016, GIZ has been commissioned by the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) to carry out work in the area of reintegrating returnees.
