Together with its partners, it develops and implements concepts and measures tailored to the prevailing situation. For this, it relies on a combination of sectoral, regional and management competence. Openness to alliance - International cooperation for sustainable development needs alliances. GTZ has a worldwide network of partnerships in civil society and in economic and cultural spheres. It has always cooperated closely with other national and international development cooperation organisations. Wherever technically and financially expedient, GTZ avails itself of the knowledge of the private consulting sector, independent experts and specialist public institutions both in the Federal Republic of Germany and other countries. Our concept - GTZ takes on tasks in the field of international cooperation and implements them in line with the principle of sustainable development. In our work, we aim to enhance the active competence of all stakeholders. We see capacity development as our core competence, our core task and our mode of operation. Involving all actors and partners in planning and implementation is a major principle for our work. In this way, we promote both cooperation and consensus. We often act as facilitator between state and society and mediator in societal conflicts of interest. In addition, we assist our partners in formulating and implementing long-term strategies. In this way, we jointly establish the basis for achieving structural reforms. In all our services, we involve the private sector wherever possible and expedient. We act at the local, regional, national and also international level, in order to achieve the maximum possible impact. Our activity areas - GTZs services span a wide range of activity areas, from economic development and employment promotion, through governance and democracy, health and basic education to environmental protection, resource conservation, agriculture, fishing and nutrition. In all our activity areas we help enhance the capabilities of people and organisations. Government advisory services are a high priority area of GTZs work, and in many partner countries we are assisting comprehensive reform processes and the necessary changes to the political, economic and social framework conditions. Where acute need is jeopardising human survival, GTZ also responds with emergency aid and refugee programmes. Even here, our concept is geared to strengthening peoples capacity to help themselves and promoting development that is self-sustaining in the long term. In recent years, GTZ has further expanded its services, for example in organising and running major events.
