HISTORY:

The name "Auswärtiges Amt" dates back to the eponymous institution of the North German Confederation in 1879 and the German Empire from 1871. The German Foreign Ministry has been known under that name to this day. During Bismarck’s time, the Auswärtiges Amt had only two directorates: the Political Directorate and a second Directorate responsible for foreign trade and other issues as well as legal and consular affairs. During the Weimar Republic, the Foreign Service was reorganised and took on a modern structure. During the National Socialist dictatorship, the Auswärtiges Amt was part of the apparatus of dictatorship, while a few diplomats, such as Ulrich von Hassell and Adam von Trott zu Solz, joined the resistance and paid for it with their lives. The involvement of the Auswärtiges Amt in the crimes of the “Third Reich” and its subsequent handling of this past were investigated by an Independent commission of historians, which published its report in October 2010.

After the Second World War, the Auswärtiges Amt was re-established on 15 March 1951, with its headquarters in Bonn. In the following decades, the Federal Republic of Germany and its Foreign Service were systematically and successfully integrated into the democratic West and its international organisations. In 1999, as part of the German Federal Government’s relocation to Berlin, the Federal Foreign Office returned to its original home, at the heart of the German capital.


THE ROLE OF THE FOREIGN SERVICE:

The Federal Foreign Office represents Germany’s interests to the world. It promotes international exchange and offers protection and assistance to Germans abroad. With its offices in Berlin and Bonn and a network of around 230 missions abroad, the Federal Foreign Office maintains Germany’s relations with other countries as well as with international and supra-national organisations.

This work concerns much more than just political contacts among governments and parliaments. Because Germany and German society are enmeshed in ever-growing international networks, the Federal Foreign Office promotes intensive interaction and exchange with the world in the fields of business, culture, science and technology, the environment, development issues and many more areas.

Shaping globalisation is one of the most important tasks of diplomacy. In this area, the Federal Foreign Office works closely with partners from civil society, including business associations, unions and humanitarian and human rights organisations. Through its embassies and consulates-general, it also communicates with the public abroad in order to convey a positive, up-to-date image of Germany. We are supported in this pursuit by Honorary Consuls, volunteers who work on the ground in host countries.

Today, many of the world’s challenges can no longer be met by individual countries and must instead be tackled in concert with numerous international partners. Such challenges include regional conflicts, terrorist threats, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the violation of human rights.

Germany’s participation in international bodies is therefore becoming ever more important. Germany has already served as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council five times and is once again seeking a non-permanent seat for the 2019-2020 term. In this role, Germany takes responsibility for the world’s peace and security. It also advocates further strengthening the European Union. Here, too, the Federal Foreign Office coordinates German interests and formulates positions on various topics to develop a unified German foreign and security policy.

Along with its role in shaping foreign policy, the Federal Foreign Office also views itself as a service provider – for citizens, German businesses and German cultural life as well as for MPs and government representatives at the federal, Länder and local levels.

Consular assistance provided by Germany’s missions abroad is especially important for Germans abroad. Some 40 million German tourists and four million German expatriates per year present our embassies and consulates with new challenges on a daily basis: as providers of emergency assistance, as information sources and as contact points for all kinds of administrative services.

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH
German Corporation for International Cooperation GmbH



About Us:

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH or GIZ in short is a German development agency headquartered in Bonn and Eschborn that provides services in the field of international development cooperation. GIZ mainly implements technical cooperation projects of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), its main commissioning party, although it also works with the private sector and other national and supranational government organizations (but usually not with non-governmental organizations) on a public benefit basis. In its activities GIZ seeks to follow the paradigm of sustainable development, which aims at balancing economic development with social inclusion and environmental protection.

GIZ offers consulting and capacity building services in a wide range of areas, including management consulting, rural development, sustainable infrastructure, security and peace-building, social development, governance and democracy, environment and climate change, and economic development and employment.

GIZ was established on January 1, 2011, through the merger of three German international development organizations: the Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst (DED), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), and Internationale Weiterbildung und Entwicklung (InWEnt). GIZ is one of the world's largest development agencies, with a business volume in excess of €2.1 billion in 2015 as well as 17,319 employees spread over more than 130 countries.

Additionally, in cooperation with the German Federal Employment Agency, GIZ operates the Centre for International Migration and Development (CIM), an agency specialized on international cooperation activities related to global labor mobility.

Information for Governments Wishing to Work with the GIZ:

The GIZ strives to provide advise, expertise, materials, and other assistance in various areas of developing a country. As a result the GIZ prefers to work directly with the governments of countries involved in GIZ Programs. At times the GIZ will approach these governments actively to propose developmental programs. However government are also encouraged to approach the GIZ with their program ideas and wishes for developmental benchmarks. These proposals will be reviewed by the GIZ and approved after being reviewed on a variety of guidelines and requirements. The priority areas of the GIZ’s work for governments worldwide are:

Vocational Training:
Programs which create or expand vocational training schools and programs within a country in order to provide the population with the ability and skills needed to find rewarding and successful careers in order to support themselves and their families and to become productive members of a developing society.

Education:
Education, specifically Primary Education, is the groundwork for a stable and democratic society as well as a productive and growing one. Assisting in the creation, expansion, and access of public education is a high priority for the GIZ.

Energy and Climate:
A stable and growing energy production environment is vital in the economic development of a society. The GIZ is committed to assist governments in creating a stable and productive energy grid with the interest of the global climate. This concentrates on clean and renewable energy sources.

Health Care:
For a society to continue to prosper a accessible public healthcare system is a central pillar. The creation, modernization, and expansion of hospitals and clinics; along with increasing access to these facilities; is an important aspect of GIZ Development Programs.

Infrastructure / Construction:
A societies infrastructure (roads, railways, public transport) is important in ensuring that the economy can continue to grow and develop in the modern era. In tandem: a strong domestic construction sector allows the infrastructure and other economic developments to continue and expand.

Water:
The GIZ is dedicated to ensuring the basic human needs of a society are met. The GIZ will work with local governments to help provide not only a temporary solution to clean water issues in their nation, but also to provide and assist in creating a permanent solution for affordable and accessible clean water to even the most rural areas.

Good Governance:
The GIZ is dedicated to assisting nations in their continued mission of creating a government that represents the people through democratic representation. Democratization programs will receive high priority.
