GIZ is not a charity organisation. All GIZ projects are based on a specific commission – from the German Government, from our main commissioning party the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), from other federal ministries or from other national and international clients.
The commissioning parties finance previously agreed measures ranging from the assignment of short-term experts to a partner country to programmes lasting a number of years and involving numerous national and international employees. GIZ offers services in a broad range of areas: energy, water, health, agriculture and finance are just some of the topics on which we have been offering our know-how for many years.
