Lusaka – GERMANY is changing its future approach towards engaging and helping countries like Zambia. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is adapting its services focusing more on digital capability and strategic planning.
In a statement at the company’s annual press conference recently, GIZ’s Chair of the Management Board Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel said in Berlin, “We have expanded and refined our instruments significantly in the last few years to enable us to deploy quickly in fragile countries of assignment. GIZ is positioning itself to be even more consistently flexible, digital and collaborative.” Schäfer-Gümbel continued “in that, GIZ would be responding to changing conditions and strengthening development cooperation. The focus is now on sustainably alleviating existential gaps in development and the repercussions of these crises in the global South, and making states more resilient.”
GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. In addition to its main commissioning party, the German Development Ministry (BMZ), GIZ is also commissioned by other federal ministries, their subordinate authorities and federal state governments. In Zambia, GIZ has been working since 1966 and has maintained an office in the capital, Lusaka, since 1982. The Ambassador of Germany to Zambia is Anne Wagner-Mitchell.
