Development Policy Positions
Anchor Countries
Anchor countries are important for development policy, as they exert a great influence in their region. They also help shape global structural policy. more
Capacity Development
Capacity development strengthens resources. One of the key tasks of German Financial Cooperation is to build a country’s capacity and to increase the competence of the people involved. more

Gender

Human Rights
Human rights help preserve human dignity. They are a comprehensive system of norms that cover a great many areas of life. more
