Partner with us

Partnerships are key for sustainable development. We collaborate with companies, initiatives and research institutions around the world to develop solutions for a fairer future worth living – working locally for global impact. 

Global challenges like climate change, poverty and fragile statehood can only be tackled by working together. We need more international cooperation, not less. As a federal enterprise for international cooperation, we can draw on a wide range of partnerships at local and global level. We connect actors, create synergies and boost results. 

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development stresses the need for new forms of cooperation between the state, the private sector, academia and civil society.

‘From the climate crisis, armed conflicts and war to the protection of global public goods, the challenges we face today do not stop at national borders, nor are they confined to individual continents.’

We make a difference

Creating a future worth living requires international cooperation, and GIZ is part of the solution. Together with our clients, commissioning parties and partners, we make a difference and bring about positive change for all.  

Not only do we generate added value for individuals at local level and better prospects for our partner countries, we also achieve medium and long-term results for Germany and Europe.
