With just over a decade to implement the 2030 Agenda , a strategy needs to accomplish more today than ever before. We need to achieve more goals faster and, at the same time, resolve conflicting objectives. This calls for efficient and flexible organisation – as well as new and established partners with whom we realise our objectives effectively. With this in mind, we focus on effective cooperation and on social and technological innovations. Our stakeholders , with whom we engage in intensive ongoing dialogue, act as a compass that guides us, as do our efforts to measure the impact of our work.

the world
Achieving more together – this is the conviction that drives our work in around 120 countries around the world, together with strong partners and commissioning parties. Our fields of work are diverse and overarching. The following section presents a selection of projects from 2018, including interviews with those involved. Special emphasis is placed on economic development and investment in Africa , highlighting both the continent’s enormous potential and the significant challenges it faces. We also take a closer look at the areas that accounted for much of our work in the last year, namely displacement and migration , climate and energy , and security and stabilisation .

Our
sustainability
management
We promote sustainable projects with our partners across the globe. And sustainability is also firmly embedded in our strategy and management, pointing our employees in the right direction to act responsibly in their daytoday work. The positive interim results of the Sustainability Programme 2016-2020 indicate how far we have already come. The fact that joint action inspires creativity is demonstrated by GIZ’s new Sustainability Contest , which led to 30 international teams presenting their pioneering ideas. Moreover, we cover a broad spectrum of issues, from human rights to climate change and mobility management , showing that sustainability is relevant at every level.

rising
On the up: with a growing economy, a considerable market for digital products, a huge reservoir of renewable energy, a large number of young workers and an ever growing middle class, Africa has great potential – and is also an interesting prospect for foreign investors. If the general conditions are right. We are working with numerous African countries to improve these conditions.
